About the role

The University of Derby is undertaking a significant programme of academic transformation in response to national policy reform, regulatory change, labour-market challenge and evolving learner expectations. Central to this work is the staged implementation of Block Delivery, underpinned by research-led and industry-integrated curricula, alongside the development of innovative, Civic-facing models that enhance graduate outcomes, workforce wellbeing and community impact. This role provides senior academic project leadership to support the rollout of Block Delivery at Level 7 and the preparation for future implementation at undergraduate level, ensuring consistency, academic rigour and effective governance during a period of major curricula change. The postholder will bring academic credibility and validation expertise to programme teams, supporting delivery at pace while safeguarding standards, reputation and regulatory compliance.

In parallel, the role provides strategic academic leadership to the development of the Work Health Hub and Health Bus Derbyshire strategies and activity, positioning these initiatives within a coherent Human Sustainability agenda that connects workplace wellbeing, Civic engagement, applied education and research.

This is a 12 month fixed term contract, 22.5 hours per week

About You

We are seeking an accomplished and strategic academic leader with significant experience of senior leadership within higher education and a strong track record of delivering academic excellence.

With a relevant doctoral qualification (or equivalent professional experience at a senior leadership level), you will have successfully led complex institutional initiatives, chaired academic governance and validation activities, and influenced change across academic and professional service teams. You will be adept at translating institutional strategy and Academic Board priorities into effective academic practice, ensuring the highest standards of quality and student experience.

An exceptional communicator and relationship builder, you will possess the credibility to engage and influence senior academic stakeholders, professional bodies and regulatory partners. You will combine sound judgement, strong analytical skills and a collaborative leadership style to manage complex challenges, identify and mitigate risk, and deliver strategic outcomes at pace while maintaining academic integrity and coherence.

Supporting the management of deadlines through CPPG, APAG and related processes, including paperwork submission and validation readiness.

Chairing validation and approval events, ensuring consistent, proportionate and constructive academic scrutiny, clear articulation of recommendations and conditions and timely sign‑off and closure of actions.

Evaluation of lessons learned from the rollout at Level 7 to inform refinement of the model and support subsequent rollout to undergraduate programmes.

Attendance at relevant governance committees and production of clear, evidence‑based reports to inform institutional decision‑making.

Ensure Level 7 provision reflects the University’s ambition for research‑led, industry‑integrated curricula and improved graduate outcomes.

Support Programme Teams to embed agreed Industry Integration Baselines, including industry days, co‑delivered teaching, assessed live briefs and structured networking activity.

Promote a consistent understanding of industry integration and how it is assured through programme design and validation.

Support alignment with Develop@Derby skills mapping and Personal Development & Growth activity.

Contributing academic leadership to emerging peer‑review and enhancement processes for industry‑integrated provision.

Support alignment of the Work Health Hub and Health Bus with the University’s academic themes, applied research strengths and executive education offer.

Support the development of income‑generating opportunities and institutional profile raising.

Support the Health Bus as a platform for interprofessional student learning and placement activity, applied research, evaluation and REF impact, civic engagement and regional partnerships.

Support alignment between the Health Bus, the Work Health Hub and longer‑term ambitions for a Centre for Human Sustainability, mapping how existing researchers and research activity could align.

Equity, diversity and inclusion

The University of Derby is committed to promoting equity, diversity and inclusion, regardless of age, disability, trans status, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief (or none), sex and sexual orientation.

We are Disability Confident Employers, demonstrating our commitment to disability inclusion, and invite applicants to highlight adjustments they may require to ensure equitable participation in our recruitment processes.

Further, we are committed to ensuring an environment which is trans and non-binary-inclusive for all our staff, students, partners, and visitors, and continuously review our policies, guidance and training.

When applying to join the University, you can choose your preferred title, including the gender-neutral title 'Mx'. We also ask our candidates if they would like to share their preferred pronouns. This is voluntary but demonstrates our commitment to inclusivity for trans and non-binary candidates. Once employed, you can add pronouns and preferred names onto our system.

The University of Derby undertakes anonymised shortlisting during the staff recruitment process. This means that, when shortlisting, panel members will not be able to see an applicant’s name and will see an applicant number instead. This demonstrates the practical steps we are taking to remove barriers to recruitment by minimising the possible impact of our unconscious bias.

However you identify, we actively celebrate the knowledge, experience and talents each person brings. Our students come from a wide range of backgrounds; therefore we are particularly interested to hear from applicants who will help our leaders and teams be more reflective of our student population.
