Deputy Faculty Manager - Social Sciences And Health

The Role and Department

The Faculty of Social Sciences and Health is one of Durham University's four Faculties, and is home to a diverse community of staff and students across eight academic departments and Schools: Anthropology, Archaeology, Education, Geography, Government and International Affairs, Law, Sociology and Sport and Exercise Sciences. The Faculty is also responsible for interdisciplinary programmes in Combined Social Sciences and Research Methods and is working towards developing a broader range of interdisciplinary programmes at postgraduate taught level. Our inclusive, creative, and innovative research environment provides our students with an inspiring learning experience and enables us to produce world-leading research within and across Departments, Research Centres and Institutes. The diverse nature of the activities that take place across the Faculty and the role of the Faculty Office in supporting the development and delivery of strategic objectives provides our staff with a stimulating and engaging work environment.

In collaboration with the Faculty Leadership team, the Deputy Faculty Manager will support and drive the strategic aims and objectives of the Faculty and ensure engagement and successful implementation of local and University-wide projects and initiatives. Providing impactful support to the Executive Dean, Faculty Manager and Deputy Executive Deans, the Deputy Faculty Manager will work in partnership with academic and professional support colleagues throughout the Faculty of Social Sciences and Health and in the wider University on projects and initiatives that support the delivery of strategic priorities and plans as defined by the Executive Dean and/or Faculty Manager. While it is expected that these projects and initiatives will change over time, key projects in the first instance will include:

· the establishment of the Faculty's Multidisciplinary Hub;

· the establishment and oversight of the Faculty's Recruitment and Admissions Management Group;

· project support for the development of the University's 'Health @ Durham' Strategy.
