Domestic Bursar, Green Templeton College
Green Templeton College is a friendly, progressive, and international graduate College within the University of Oxford. Formed through the merger of Green College and Templeton College in 2008, it is a distinctive college that makes new traditions rather than defending existing ones.
Based on its Woodstock Road campus surrounding the Radcliffe Observatory, the College brings together approximately 650 students, 250 fellows, and 90 staff. It has an inclusive, egalitarian, and collaborative culture, and students, fellows, staff, alumni, and guests are welcomed as part of a shared community.
Green Templeton College is looking to appoint a new Domestic Bursar. Reporting to the Bursar and working closely with the Principal and other members of the Executive Management Group, the postholder will lead and manage the operational teams that provide a wide range of services for the College.
