The Role and the Department

The Common Awards Assistant Quality Manager plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth running of our national Common Awards partnership with the Church of England and Theological Education Institution (TEI) partners across England, Scotland and Wales.

Working within a dedicated and friendly team of 5, this role involves carrying out professional duties across a broad range of areas to support the implementation of the University's core quality management processes as they relate to the Common Awards Scheme, and relating to student records (including student and module registration processes, data entry, marks entry and supporting the campus card production, graduation and Board of Examiner processes) and to quality assurance and enhancement processes (such as programme approval processes, curriculum updating, reviews and external examining, and authoring professional reports for validation and periodic review purposes). The post holder will undertake activity in both areas. This varied and interesting role also provides event support for programmes of student and staff activity related to teaching, learning and research.

On a typical day the postholder might review and respond to complex queries in the shared email inbox, assess the accuracy and quality of a set of TEI data or documentation, author professional reports for consideration in the university committee structure, liaise with other University colleagues over the organisation of events, and generally collaborate closely with other team members including the Senior Quality Manager, Assistant Quality Manager, Head of AQS, and academic lead for Common Awards, Prof Mike Higton.
