Our clients continue to face increasingly destructive cyber threats, particularly ransomware, destructive malware, business email compromise, Active Directory compromise, cloud compromise and advanced network intrusions.

Dean of Student Experience \n \n Job Responsibilities \n \n The College \n UK Management College (UKMC) is a private, widening-participation higher education provider established in 2016, delivering degree programmes with an integrated Foundation Year in partnership with universities that act as the awarding bodies — the University of Wolverhampton (principal partner), Canterbury Christ Church University, Arts University Bournemouth and Health \n Sciences University — across campuses in Manchester (College House, Salford and Abarna Campus), Derby, Newcastle (North Shields) and Sunderland. The College serves a predominantly mature, local and first-in-family student community, many of whom balance study with work, caring and financial pressures. Its student-support model is therefore central, not peripheral, to its mission: \n success is measured by retention, continuation, completion and progression, and the College’s support ecosystem — organised around quality, engagement, support, wellbeing, inclusion and employability — exists to deliver those outcomes for every student, at every campus, on equal terms. \n \n Role Purpose \n The Dean of Student Experience is the College’s senior leader for academic services and the student experience. The post holder holds executive responsibility for the departments and functions that surround and enable course delivery: the Wellbeing Department; the Personal Academic Tutor (PAT) team; student engagement (non-academic); academic language and learning; employability, careers and student outcomes; research and knowledge exchange; and academic integrity. The purpose of the role is to ensure that every student — whatever their starting point, campus or mode of engagement — receives consistent, differentiated and effective support to engage, persist, achieve and progress. \n The Dean of Student Experience reports to the Associate Provost / Provost and works in close partnership with the Academic Dean, who leads course delivery, and with the Quality and Compliance department, with whom the post holder shares responsibility for evidencing that the College’s support for students meets the requirements of the Office for Students (OfS), partner \n universities (awarding bodies) and other regulatory bodies. The two Deans are jointly accountable for the College’s student outcomes: continuation, completion and progression at or above the College’s institutional targets, which are themselves set above OfS numerical baselines. \n \n Reporting and Organisational Position \n Reports to: Associate \n Provost / Provost. \n \n Line manages: Head of Wellbeing; Personal Academic Tutor (PAT) Manager; Head of Student Engagement (Non-Academic); Academic Language and Learning Lead; Head of Employability and \n Student Outcomes (Student Engagement and Career Development); Head of Research \n and Knowledge Exchange; and Head of Academic Integrity — together with the teams that report through them at every campus. \n \n Works with: The Academic Dean and the academic delivery structure (Associate / Assistant Deans, Course Directors, Academic Heads of Campus, Module Leaders); the Head of Quality and Compliance; the Academic Registrar and Academic Services; the Head of Planning and Student Systems; the Designated Safeguarding Lead; the Head of Human Resources; partner universities (awarding bodies); and the Student Association. \n \n Committees: Senior oversight of the Student Experience, Engagement and Employability Committee, the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee and the Research, Ethics and Knowledge Exchange Sub-Committee; member of Academic Board and the Faculty Committee; represents the student-experience portfolio at the Executive Board as required. \n \n Key Responsibilities \n A. Strategic Leadership of the Student Experience \n\n • Provide institution-wide leadership for the student experience and academic services, ensuring a single coherent support ecosystem across all campuses in which every service is oriented to the College’s outcome measures: retention, continuation, completion and \n progression.\n • Lead, develop and performance-manage the Heads of Department and functional leads within the portfolio: agree annual objectives and departmental plans, hold regular documented one-to-ones, conduct appraisals, and hold each department to account for its performance, compliance and student outcomes.\n, • Ensure support is differentiated according to need but never unequal — with proactive, tailored support for at-risk students, stretch for high performers, and flexible arrangements for carers, mature learners and disabled students — in line with the College’s equity principle \n and Access and Participation commitments.\n • Ensure parity of the student experience across every campus, monitoring service coverage, caseloads and student feedback by site and addressing any campus-level variation.\n, • Advise the Associate Provost / Provost, the Executive Board and the Board of Directors on student-experience performance, capacity and risk, ensuring service capacity is planned ahead of student-number growth, never behind it.\n, • Deputise for the Provost on student-experience matters as required.\n\n B. Wellbeing, Safeguarding and Inclusion \n\n • Provide senior oversight of the Wellbeing Department through the Head of Wellbeing: endorse its strategy, policies and Office Performance Plan; review its KPI dashboards, audit findings and risk reports; and escalate material risks to the Associate Provost / Provost and senior committees.\n, • Ensure the consistent implementation of reasonable adjustments and learning support plans across all campuses, working with the Academic Dean’s delivery structure so that adjustments are embedded in teaching and assessment, in compliance with the Equality Act 2010.\n, • Ensure effective arrangements for safeguarding and Prevent within the portfolio, working with the Designated Safeguarding Lead and the Safeguarding and Prevent Committee, and provide senior leadership during escalated crises and critical incidents.\n, • Champion equality, diversity and inclusion across the student experience, providing senior oversight of the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee’s student-facing agenda and ensuring inclusive practice is embedded in every service.\n, • Ensure lessons from wellbeing-related complaints, appeals and serious cases are learned, recorded and fed into continuous improvement.\n\n C. Personal Academic Tutoring (PAT) \n\n • Provide senior oversight of the Personal Academic Tutor model through the PAT Manager, ensuring every student is assigned a Personal Academic Tutor and receives differentiated academic, pastoral and practical support in line with the Personal Tutor Policy.\n, • Ensure PATs monitor engagement, attendance and confidence through the engagement dashboard and KPI risk matrix, act on early warning signs of disengagement, and lead timely interventions in partnership with the Wellbeing Team, module tutors and Course Directors.\n, • Ensure the PAT function delivers its academic-skills programme — induction, workshops on academic writing, referencing, time management and digital literacy — consistently across \n campuses, aligned with the Foundation Year Academic Skills provision.\n • Oversee PAT workforce planning, caseload allocation and cross-campus consistency, ensuring the data-driven deployment model matches PAT resource to enrolment, risk and learner need.\n, • Champion PAT staff development, supporting progression towards the PGCert and Advance HE Fellowship in line with institutional targets, and evaluate PAT performance and impact against retention, engagement and student-satisfaction measures.\n\n D.
