Leadership Framework Administrator

The Role and the Department

The Department and role purpose The Student Enrichment Directorate plays a pivotal role in developing, delivering, and transforming the Wider Student Experience at Durham University. We remain steadfast in our core commitment to accelerating the growth of far-reaching and market-leading programmes across performance, participation, and community outreach, whilst fostering a culture that safeguards academic excellence. We are guided by the belief that an investment in the Wider Student Experience is ultimately an investment in the quality of graduates that the University produces; motivated by the opportunity to engage and inspire the next generation of talent. In doing so, we feel confident that we are making a positive contribution to the development of rounded, ethical, global citizens. Within the Student Enrichment Directorate there are 4 principal Leadership initiatives: · The Leadership Framework encompassing: The Emerging Leaders Programme, The Sport Leadership P rogramme and the Leadership Academy. · The Laidlaw Research & Leadership Programme

The Leadership Framework is a leadership development programme which aims to support the student leader in their leadership role while at university. The programme focuses on key leadership development skills which can be put into practice and subsequently reflected on for their future professional careers.

The Laidlaw Research & Leadership Programme aims to develop a new generation of leaders who are skilled researchers, embrace data-based decision-making, and believe it to be a moral imperative to lead with integrity. It invests in talented and motivated undergraduate students giving them the knowledge, skills, and experience to become global citizens and ethical future leaders.

The Leadership Framework delivers a large proportion of the programme through in-person events in collaboration with both external and internal partners.

This post is funded by Durham University for up to 15 hours per week, while the difference between the 15 hours and 21 hours (6 hours) is funded by the Laidlaw Foundation, which is reliant on external funding being available for the post..
