Interim Registrar and University Secretary

I am currently supporting a UK University on the appointment of an Interim Registrar and University Secretary to join their executive team at a pivotal point in their strategic development.

This broad leadership role combines responsibility for academic registry, institutional governance, regulatory compliance and academic administration, working closely with the Vice-Chancellor, governing body and senior stakeholders across the University.

• Providing strategic leadership across academic registry and administration functions.


• Acting as principal adviser on governance, regulatory and constitutional matters.


• Serving as Secretary to Council/Governing Body and supporting effective institutional decision-making.


• Leading institutional responses to sector regulation, compliance and assurance requirements.


• Overseeing policy development, risk management and governance frameworks.


• Contributing as a member of the senior executive leadership team to the delivery of institutional strategy and transformation initiatives.

• Significant senior leadership experience within higher education.


• Strong understanding of UKVI, university governance, legal, regulation and academic administration.


• Experience working with governing bodies, executive teams and external regulators.


• A collaborative leader with the credibility to influence at board and executive level.

This is an excellent opportunity to take on a highly visible executive position within the HE sector.
