Colleagues,
A good question? While you're up to your eyes in exams, boards, appeals
and awards ceremonies, you may very well be asking yourself this very
question. The answer is likely to be because you care. You respect the
importance of higher education in addressing issues of social justice, you
support widening participation as long as standards don't deteriorate,
you're interested in the issues in higher education and you come to work to
make a difference. I thought as much.
So, I also thought I'd share this great opportunity (
http://www.newport.ac.uk/jobs/job050603f.html) to invest your experience
as a generalist HE administrator, your experience of staff supervision and
your enthusiasm for change in a challenging role. Following
restructuring, we have 6 School Registrar posts (£29,621 - £33,679) open to
competition right now. If you want a role in leading the management of
academic administration within a School and you have the initiative,
commitment, organisational skills and imagination to make it work, this may
very well be the opportunity you've been looking for. Its time to trade
in your reputation for reliability and consistent achievement to obtain a
post that challenges you and gives you the opportunity for growth. With 4
Schools engaged in overseas franchise too, these posts will also give you
an international perspective to your experience as an HE administrator (our
QA procedures apply to our provision in China and Malaysia as well as at
home) and the post-holder will almost certainly be needed to travel
overseas.
Add the many positive features of living in south east Wales (city life and
rural tranquility, culture and built heritage, leisure opportunities in the
mountains and on the coast) and you'll readily appreciate that life is set
to be brilliant for the successful applicants. With average house prices
in the city of Newport still affordable and education at all levels
(including post-compulsory, as offered here at UWCN) second to none, its a
great place to settle. So, grab this opportunity by the throat by
following the link (http://www.newport.ac.uk/jobs/job050603f.html).
All the best,
Paul
