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.

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.
