Their mission centres on delivering excellent teaching, a supportive learning environment, and strong student outcomes. The College continues to grow rapidly, with ambitions to broaden its academic footprint.

Role Overview

This is an exciting opportunity to lead the creation of a new academic department within the School of Health and Social Sciences.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Leading curriculum development and academic planning

• Recruiting and leading a new team
• Ensuring academic standards and supporting regulatory compliance

Who We Are Looking For

We’re seeking an academic leader with experience setting up or significantly developing a department, with a strong understanding of BPS standards and processes. It would be desirable to have a background in neuroscience. A track record of building high-performing teams and delivering engaging, accredited academic programmes is essential.
