Lead our Legacy. From London.
The world’s foremost sport university has found a natural home on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, where the 2012 Olympic flame forged a thrumming innovation quarter attracting keen creative minds from across the globe.
Each year, we recruit up to 800 Master’s students who join a diverse and highly international postgraduate community, supported by our extraordinary team. Our people make Loughborough London a hive of interdisciplinary, cutting-edge research and innovation in education, business, technology and media.
Our Dean of School will be expected to bring their reputation, networks and experience to bear on our London campus, supporting delivery of Loughborough’s strategic vision, through:
- A more ambitious research and innovation endeavour
- Strengthening our leadership position in education and student experience
- Building a more diverse, equitable and inclusive community
- Intensifying and extending our international reach and impact
- Leveraging our excellence in sport to create new opportunities across our institution
- Develop new, meaningful partnerships in the UK and internationally
Deans are senior members of staff appointed to provide leadership not only of their Schools but across the University. Deans are members of the Executive Board (UEB), whose purpose is to put academic leadership at the heart of decision-making processes in the University. Matters considered at UEB feed into the activities of the University and its main committees.
Deans report to the Provost and Deputy Vice-Chancellor and have regular contact with other Senior Officers including the Pro Vice-Chancellors, Director of Finance, Chief Operating Officer and Vice-Chancellor and President. Deans play a crucial role in ensuring that policy is effectively developed and implemented in the interests of the entire University.
As Dean of Loughborough University London, you will be expected to:
- Lead by example the University’s commitment to excellence and enable all individuals to realise their full potential.
- Be an integral member of the University’s Executive Board, chaired by the Vice-Chancellor, thereby contributing to the strategic leadership of the whole University.
- Provide strategic and operational leadership for the School, maintaining and developing the School’s outstanding international reputation in research & innovation, education & student experience and equity, diversity & inclusion, in line with the University’s strategy.
- Ensure that statutory requirements are met.
