You will lead the design and delivery of robust governance structures across Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon Colleges, ensuring Boards and Committees operate effectively and comply with University of the Arts London regulations.

You will analyse key performance data, identify areas for improvement, and recommend strategic interventions to keep college priorities on track. You will also develop and communicate local policy guidance that aligns with university-wide frameworks, working closely with senior academic and professional teams to embed decisions and drive progress across academic and operational areas.
