United Kingdom, London

We are committed to providing opportunities for all and have been transforming lives in London and further afield for over 120 years. We are part of a diverse group comprising London South Bank University, University Academies and Colleges and an enterprise centre. We take pride in the value that our degree programmes add, the employability and success of our graduates and the impact of our world-leading applied research.

To build on our strengths and position us best for future success, we are currently undergoing an academic re-shaping exercise, which involves combining eight schools of study into three Colleges, each with three or four Schools within them. This will facilitate enhanced strategic leadership across related subject areas, promote synergies between teaching and research, and provide a strong platform for sustainable growth.

We are now seeking a Head of the School of Law and Education, one of three Schools within the College of Society & Professions. This is an exciting opportunity to join a vibrant, outward looking, multi-disciplinary teaching and learning community committed to a socially just, globally responsible approach to higher education. The School contributes to a growing research culture in the College and is ambitious to grow its CPD, enterprise and postgraduate offer.

Located in the heart of London, the School is research-led, close to practice, and connected to a well-established network of partners. This enables it to offer an excellent vocationally-orientated education for students grounded in the contemporary issues and debates of its constituent disciplines, Law, Criminology and Education, whilst maintaining a strong sense of ethical responsibility to the diverse communities it serves.

Ideal candidates will be able to understand and nurture our history, our diversity and our distinctiveness. They will have a track record of providing effective and transformational leadership in a multi-disciplinary environment, with analytical skills and the ability to think broadly and strategically. Evidence of a substantial academic management track record and involvement in curriculum development is crucial. Candidates will be skilled communicators, with the ability to take people with them, and experience of working through influence.

The new Head will work with the School and wider University community to celebrate our strengths and achievements and help forge an ambitious path forward. They will drive the strategy and overall progress of the School, working with colleagues to develop and maintain excellence across both teaching/learning and research and playing a central role in relations with external partners.

You will be part of a great team, turning your passion into purpose.
