Our Central Timetabling Team ensure that all teaching and learning activity (for study centres / locations / modes) is appropriately timetabled using our new digital timetabling system (TermTime), effectively utilising all resources involved in the delivery of teaching. You will lead in creating and maintaining class timetables on an ongoing basis, making changes as required according to business need.
