Assistant Faculty Registrar (Quality)

About the role

The University of Plymouth’s Faculty of Health is seeking a highly skilled and experienced administrator to join our professional services team. Reporting to the Faculty Registrar, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the effective delivery of academic quality assurance processes and programme administration.

As a key member of the Faculty’s Registry team, you will provide expert advice on academic regulations, policies, and quality assurance procedures. You will work closely with internal teams and external regulatory bodies, such as HCPC, GMC, GDC, QAA, and OfS, to maintain compliance and support the continuous development of our programmes.

This role requires a proactive and solutions-focused professional with a commitment to delivering high standards and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

You will be an experienced professional with a background in quality assurance or administration in a complex, regulated environment, ideally within higher education or health, although this experience is not essential.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide specialist advice and guidance on academic quality assurance procedures, policies, and regulatory compliance.
• Manage the delivery and continuous development of programme administration and student services within the Faculty of Health.
• Coordinate programme approval, review panels, and associated documentation, ensuring compliance with university and external standards.
• Support the monitoring of data quality on student administration systems, including oversight of extenuating circumstances and academic offences.
• Lead and manage the quality team, fostering a culture of flexibility, adaptability, and efficiency.
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure adherence to standards and deliver high-quality service.
• Contribute to the management of Assessment Panels, Award Boards, and appeals processes.
• Deputise for the Faculty Registrar as required, representing the Faculty in meetings and initiatives.
