The Role:
The Student Services Project Manager will play a key role in delivering strategic and operational enhancements across Student Services at the University of Portsmouth. Working closely with the Student Services Senior Leadership Team (SLT), the postholder will manage a diverse range of projects that enhance student experience, support service transformation, and ensure alignment with institutional priorities. The role will support the implementation of the Student Services Strategy through effective project coordination, service improvement activity, stakeholder engagement and the development of meaningful performance and impact measures.
The working pattern for this post is full-time, five days per week. In exceptional circumstances, we may be able to consider a 0.8 FTE appointment; however, this would still need to be worked over five days.

Further flexibility regarding working arrangements may be possible depending on individual requirements, such as flexibility around school pick-up arrangements.
