Description :

Staffordshire University is on a journey to become the foremost modern higher education institution in the UK, with an international reputation for excellence, and we are looking for inspirational and effective people to take us to the next stage.

The University’s heritage stretches back over 100 years and throughout that time we have been rooted in our community, improving people’s lives and driving aspiration. In recent years we have become a leader in computer gaming, a major provider of degree apprenticeships and a pioneer in offering accelerated degrees that break the mould of traditional delivery.

Our transformation has been externally recognised: in 2018 we broke in to the World University rankings for the first time and were named as a top 50 UK university by the Guardian. The quality of our student experience has placed us in the top 10 for teaching quality in the Sunday Times Good University Guide 2018 and 2019 and we are on track to achieve a Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework.

Many of our students come from areas with low rates of participation in higher education and we continually strive to ensure the courses we offer meet the needs of people and employers. We are expanding our non-traditional, flexible study options, particularly in apprenticeships serving the public sector.

We are driven by our values: they underpin everything we do and our colleagues live our values every day. We are daring, curious and proud of our region and people. 

You will join us at a time when we begin the next step of our transformation journey. The new £40m Catalyst Building will deliver 6,500 new apprentices in the next decade, boosting both the local and national economy. The development of our offer in to new academic areas and geographic locations will see us expand our reach and make an innovative offer to a new generation of students.

We are a university of and for our community: local, national and global. If you share our values and have the skills to deliver our vision, we want to hear from you.

Based within the School of Law, Policing and Forensics, the post holder will be responsible for the overall effective co-ordination, leadership, management, development and delivery of policing degree apprenticeship awards, and a related portfolio of continuing professional development programmes, delivered by Staffordshire University in partnership with police authorities. 

The post-holder will play a key leadership role in developing a strong and distinctive identity and reputational profile of the Institute of Policing across the University and externally at regional, national and international level.

With previous experience of leadership and senior management, the post-holder will provide strong leadership for the staff involved in the delivery of policing degree apprenticeships, coordinating and managing effective cross university team-working to ensure high quality service delivery for police authority partners.

The successful candidate will be educated to post-graduate level with previous experience of developing and delivering policing education and training. An excellent communicator, they will be able to engage and influence at all levels and work strategically to identify opportunities for the benefit of the School.
