London South Bank University (LSBU) is a modern, dynamic university with a long history of leading the way in applied education and practice-led learning. With over 17,000 students and 2,000 staff from over 130 countries, we work together to foster the development of graduates, ready to address business and societal challenges.

The University created LSBU Group, a unique and growing partnership of secondary, further and higher education providers in south London. LSBU Group is made up of four organisations and was created in 2019 after LSBU oversaw the first merger of its kind between a university and college.

We are now seeking to appoint a new Academic Registrar. The Academic Registrar will provide strategic and operational leadership, ensuring service excellence for all areas of academic administration and registry services covering the full student lifecycle. A key area of focus will be the transformation of academic services which will be underpinned by thorough service re-design, the introduction of new technologies, and the embedding of new ways of working across and between teams.

They will work closely with other members of the directorate, academic leaders, and representatives from the Students Union.
