Associate Dean - Student Assessment

Global Banking School

At GBS (Global Banking School), we invest in our people and our students are at the heart of everything we do because we know education is transformational. Our mission is to change lives through education, and we take an inclusive approach to recruiting students, with an aim to widening access to higher education among groups currently under-represented in the sector.

GBS is a higher education provider offering a range of sector-relevant courses across eight campuses in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and beyond. Working in partnership with several of the UK’s leading higher education providers, we deliver vocational, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in banking, finance, accounting, business, tourism, healthcare – and more. We are an approved institute on the Office for Students Register and have been reviewed and approved by the Quality Assurance Agency.

Our students delivered an overwhelmingly positive verdict in the National Student Survey 2023 with themes around ‘teaching on my course’, ‘learning opportunities’, ‘assessment and feedback’ and ‘academic support’ which all surpassed 90% scores — significantly exceeding the sector average in these areas.

We are proud of our substantial growth and remain committed to success and you will get your energy and motivation from helping to engage students in the learning processes to ensure student outcomes are maximised and will be responsible for the teaching and development of a range of subjects across the curriculum.

Please note location is flexible at any GBS campus.
