We are seeking a dedicated and strategic individual with a passion for fair, consistent, and student-centred approaches to lead our Student Casework Services.

In this pivotal role, you will oversee the management of all student casework, including complaints, appeals, academic misconduct, and disciplinary processes. As the primary contact with the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA), you will ensure that all cases are handled within regulatory timelines and in line with the university’s policy. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and embed a culture of continuous improvement, transparency, and learning in how we manage student cases.

You will also produce and present reports on trends and outcomes to inform institutional decision making.

We are looking for a confident and empathetic professional with substantial experience in handling complex and sensitive student casework, ideally in a higher education environment.
