As the University responds to a challenging and changing higher education environment, we are seeking an exceptional Pro Vice-Chancellor (Education and Student Experience) to help shape an excellent, inclusive and future-focused educational offer for students across USW.
Based across USW campuses, with flexible working by agreement, this role offers the opportunity to provide University-wide strategic leadership for education, learning and teaching, curriculum, assessment, student outcomes and the end-to-end student experience. Reporting to the Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive, the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Education and Student Experience) will be a key member of the University Executive, working collegiately with academic and professional services leaders to drive educational performance, innovation and enhancement.
The postholder will align curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, student engagement, academic practice and student support, helping to build a sustainable, inclusive and student-centered institution. This is a full time, permanent post.

We benchmark our success through equality accreditations with Athena Swan, Race Equality Charter, Stonewall and Disability Confident. If you’re a Welsh learner or a Welsh speaker, we’d be delighted to receive your application. At USW, you’ll have access to Welsh courses to enable you to develop your Welsh skills further, in order to provide a bilingual service to our students, colleagues and the public. We welcome applications in Welsh and English. Applications in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than those made in English.
