This will involve translating agreed curriculum plans into robust timetable requirements, maximise space, staffing, and facility utilisation while identifying early stage constraints, clashes, and dependencies.

The role will involve working with complex datasets across curriculum, student, staffing, and estates systems. Maintain strict validation controls to ensure all planning and timetabling data is complete, accurate, and consistent. The successful candidate will need to exercise sound judgment to investigate resource conflicts, constructively challenge inefficient planning assumptions, and negotiate workable solutions with academic leadership. A collaborative approach with IT and MIS teams to test, evaluate, and implement system developments, driving automation, process improvements, and staff awareness of best practice, will be essential.

It will be essential to have experience in curriculum planning, timetabling, scenario modelling, or resource optimisation within Further or Higher Education, whilst having the ability to interrogating complex data across MIS, student information systems, and supporting specialist timetabling platforms. You will also require exceptional problem-solving skills with a track record of resolving competing operational priorities and strong interpersonal skills with the ability to influence academic leaders and present technical data to diverse audiences clearly.
