About The Role
The Associate Head of School provides operational and academic leadership within assigned subject disciplines, supporting the Head of School in delivering key strategic and educational objectives. This role focuses on enhancing teaching quality, student experience, and staff development while ensuring compliance with accreditation and university policies.
The position also contributes to research and external engagement but remains primarily responsible for supporting, rather than leading, school-wide initiatives. The post holder will be provided with 0.6 FTE for leadership duties and for the remainder of their time, will be required to contribute proportionally to education, research and practice activity in line with the workload planning guidance in force at that time.
About The Department
The Faculty of Health, Environment and Medical Sciences encompasses a wide range of disciplines across three schools: Health and Care; Allied Health and Exercise Sciences; and Life and Environmental Sciences. The world leading education, research and professional practice delivered across our Faculty enriches society and enhances people's lives. We have a long and close association with health and social care practice partners across the region; we also work with industry, social enterprise organisations, charities and governmental organisations, both nationally and internationally. Our staff are engaged in innovative and impactful research and routinely work with the public, patients and practitioners locally and globally to shape the future.
