About Us
The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.
The Global Mobility Office is a student-facing and external-facing professional services team of eleven. This is an opportunity to join a small, close, centralised professional services team providing inbound and outbound study and work abroad lifecycle support and reporting, mobility partnership agreement negotiation and management, and administration of Erasmus, Turing and the Staff International Exchange Programme, in pursuance of the university’s Education and International strategies.
We are part of the Students & Education Directorate, a collection of wide-ranging professional services in place to support King’s students and their education. As a directorate we manage the student lifecycle from application to graduation and beyond, to ensure a coherent and seamless student experience and effective administrative processes, working closely with King’s faculties to do so.
About the role
The Head of Global Mobility will lead and manage a team and be a subject matter expert in the key operational service area of Global Mobility, ensuring the senior team, and wider Directorate, are fully supported with effective processes and systems across a wide range of business and operational workstreams.
The Head of Global Mobility will have operational responsibility for a defined portfolio of education and student professional services, as a departmental lead within the Students and Education Directorate.
The Head of Global Mobility will work within and across teams and functions, engaging with a wide range of colleagues across King’s. They contribute and lead on activities which positively impact the student experience. This includes ensuring:
- Close working with their Associate Director, and across organisational boundaries, to identify and action opportunities to improve efficiency and consistency of service (or project) delivery
- Efficient resource utilisation and organisation of work resources within their department (or project)
- Proactive engagement with service users and stakeholders to facilitate mutually effective working relationships
- Their department (or project) embeds a culture of service, transparency and continuous improvement
The Head of Global Mobility will have an understanding of the priorities, cultures and pressures of a research-led university and of academic processes and the structure of the academic year.
The Head of Global Mobility provides senior operational management for all in the team, line-managing four Officers as well as providing counsel to the other Officers and Senior Officers.
This is an exciting opportunity for candidates looking to work in a close, centralised team that is both student- and external-facing and who wish to utilise their skills and expertise in student mobility programme administration, international relations and team leadership.
