Associate Academic Registrar (Assessment, Progression and Awards)

An opportunity has arisen within Solent University's Academic Registry for an Associate Academic Registrar (Assessment, Progression and Awards).

Reporting to the Academic Registrar, and leading a team and working closely across teams, the postholder will support Solent's academic departments and schools in the delivery of their strategies. Working across the institution, the postholder has responsibility for providing high-quality administration and co-ordination of matters relating to assessment, progression and awards, from enrolment through to graduation.

Working within a wider team of Associate Academic Registrars, the postholder will be responsible for ensuring the assessment scaffolding is in place, and subsequently ensuring preparedness, for the Progression and Award Boards, including application of extenuating circumstances, managing curriculums for suspended returners, and engagement with external examiners.

The successful candidate will have a solid understanding of assessment practices across a complex range of provision, with the ability to work to regular and tight deadlines while providing a core service to students, academic colleagues and wider professional services. Informed by the University's values, the postholder will champion a risk-based and collaborative approach, using compliance as an enabler for ongoing enhancement and high-quality service delivery.

We are looking for a candidate who has a range of Higher Education experience and can evidence a track record of supporting academic areas while working at pace. Experience of identifying process improvements and enhancements alongside an appreciation of the policies and procedures that the University operates is also beneficial.

Solent University offers an excellent benefits package.
