Birkbeck, University of London, is seeking a Quality Manager (Assurance and Enhancement) to manage, develop and implement the University’s quality assurance and enhancement framework.
This new role is based within an expanding Quality Team within Academic Standards and Quality (part of the new Education and Student Experience Directorate) and you will work closely with academic and professional service colleagues across Birkbeck to support and deliver a wide range of key quality assurance activities and projects.
This role is offered on a full-time, permanent contract with a salary of £44,274 rising to £50,379 per year, and you’ll be expected on site in the office for at least two days a week.

As the Quality Manager (Assurance and Enhancement), you will:

  • Manage and develop Birkbeck’s current academic quality assurance framework, including module and programme approval and amendment, periodic reviews and quality monitoring, and the management of external examiners and other external subject specialists.
  • Support the maintenance of academic regulatory, policy and governance arrangements, including undertaking regulatory and policy review and acting as secretary to committees and sub-committees as determined by the Head of Academic Standards and Quality.
  • Provide advice and guidance on quality assurance systems and processes so they operate effectively and efficiently.
  • Provide regular updates and develop and deliver training to staff across the institution in matters pertaining to academic quality and standards.

To be successful in the role of Quality Manager (Assurance and Enhancement) you will:

  • Have experience in managing quality assurance and enhancement in higher education, particularly data-driven approaches to quality.
  • Have the ability to manage complex workloads, working with staff at all levels to ensure centrally agreed policy is implemented and adopted fairly and consistently across all faculties and schools.
  • Have excellent oral and written skills with the ability to produce clear policies, procedures reports and presentations and convey complex information with confidence.
  • Be proactive in identifying areas for development and enhancement.
  • Be comfortable working with and advising staff at all levels across the institution.

With the arrival of our new Vice Chancellor, Professor Sally Wheeler, last year, this is an exciting time to join Birkbeck as we look to the future and work to implement our vision for high quality flexible education for our diverse student body.
If you are passionate about higher education; maintaining and enhancing academic standards and quality, we want to hear from you. Join us at Birkbeck, University of London, and make a significant impact on our institution and its students.
