EQUALITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
It matters to us in all that we do.
At the University of Southampton, we believe that we can only truly play our part in supporting society if we are reflective of society. We are therefore passionate about creating a working environment in which you are free to bring your whole self to work. We are focused on creating supportive workplaces for all where discrimination has no place. The way in which you choose to live your life has no bearing on your ability to do your job. Likewise, age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion, social background, ethnicity or any other identifying factor will never be a consideration here. Instead, we are determined to always treat our staff equally, fairly and with respect. We welcome people from all walks of life, and as such, we champion a uniquely diverse working environment in which every colleague is able to excel, regardless of their background or their life choices. Quite simply, we want to attract likeminded people to our team – people who care about the world, and who share our passion for creating an innovative and forward-thinking learning and research environment. We are proud to support many staff and student networks, and we encourage these groups to get involved in helping us create a forward-thinking and desirable workplace. We are a Stonewall Diversity Champion and we are immensely proud to have our institutional Athena SWAN silver award renewed, which underpins our pledge to improve equality for women. We are also delighted to have received the Race Equality Charter bronze award from Advance HE, which recognises that we have a solid foundation for eliminating racial inequalities and developing an inclusive culture that values all staff and students. We also support flexible working and are proud of our open and supportive working environment; with options such as job shares available, we ensure opportunities are equal and focused on the needs of our colleagues. We know that change and improvement is a continual process, and our community is a big part of this, so we always want to hear from our staff about how we can create the best possible working experience.
As the Associate Vice-President, ED&I and Social Justice, I believe this important role is a signal of our University’s real commitment to become a more accountable and inclusive community, and to embrace a culture that reflects all students, staff and employees.” Pascal Matthias Associate Vice-President, ED&I and Social Justice

OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE
Our estates master plan details our ambitious plans which will see £1bn of investment to enhance and deliver a sustainable and inclusive estate over the next decade; the Director of Estates Development will play a crucial part in the delivery of this. Reporting to the Executive Director of Estates & Facilities, the Director of Estates Development will lead the strategic development and effective utilisation of the University’s estate including master planning, capital programme/project delivery, space strategy and property management. You will set the vision and strategy of the Estates Development department delivering against ambitious targets for the estates master plan including capital development programme delivery, property asset management, space management, estate planning, and long-term maintenance for the existing estate. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a proven track record of developing and delivering large-scale, complex capital investment programmes and will be capable of leading estate strategy development encompassing masterplanning, asset management and space management. You will have excellent communication skills, a positive and inclusive approach to leadership and will demonstrate a genuine passion for delivering an outstanding estates environment for the University.
Sustainability and biodiversity are an important part of our work. To give just a few examples: in our Valley Gardens, we have introduced habitat piles to the woodland areas, which we hope will encourage stag beetles and small mammals such as hedgehogs. We have added bat boxes to the tree canopies and are experimenting with wildflower areas to encourage insects. We also collect all the spent coffee grounds from the University’s restaurants and mix these in with our compost. This adds nutrients to the soil as well as stopping weeds from germinating.”
