Welcome StARS is a high-profile and ambitious institution-wide programme that will make a significant difference to the student experience and to the ways in which staff can support students. System change and optimisation are at the core, but it is not just a technology programme, it requires modernisation and cultural change to transform the ways in which we all work so that we are making best use of staff time and expertise, and simplifying processes to improve every student’s experience with us. As Deputy Director, you will be leading a growing, diverse and highly capable team with a wide range of skills and roles, and responsible for a critical programme of work that is crucial to securing the future success of the University of Birmingham. Strong and effective leadership, management and team working is critical. You will work as part of a wider collaborative team with colleagues from across the campus; in Academic Services, IT Services, Colleges and beyond. Each improvement in processes or systems that StARS delivers is an important step forward, but is not the end goal. The ultimate point of all StARS work is to improve the experience of students and staff, and to ensure that the University can deliver high quality, resilient services both now and for years to come. Your leadership and individual contribution will be a critical to this, and as Deputy Director you will be responsible for the wider shared success of the connected and collaborative team that exemplifies StARS. from the Academic Registrar
