Subject: Role of Head / Director of Planning
Dear All
I am conducting a review of the role of Director / Head of Planning in
UK institutions, and would appreciate information on:
1) Whether the role exists within your institution
And if so,
2) How long has the post existed and what are the main responsibilities
3) Has this role changed significantly over the last few years
3) How many staff report to the individual concerned
4) Who does the Director / Head report to
5) An indication of seniority of the post and associate pay scale/salary
range
Once I've gathered the results, I'll share them with respondents in an
anonymised manner.
Thanks
Anita
