You are a systems thinker: You see how a change in scheduling impacts care delivery, and how an update in governance affects the Care Coordination Team. You manage the "ripple effects." You are operationally rigorous: You thrive on metrics and KPIs. You use data to identify capacity bottlenecks or potential safeguarding risks before they become issues. You are empathetic but decisive: You understand the high-stakes nature of healthcare and can make calm, authoritative decisions that balance patient safety with operational speed.

Ensuring our safeguarding protocols are deeply embedded in every team member's daily workflows. Develop robust structures, documentation, processes and communication loops to: Grow the team without losing quality or culture. Ensure a 'single source of truth' for all operational workstreams documentation Maintain and implement high-quality policies for complaints, contested outcomes, and quality assurance.

Proven experience overseeing multi-tiered teams (managing 5+ direct reports who each manage their own large teams). Advanced experience in managing capacity and scheduling for a large, varied workforce. A track record of "productising" operations-taking a growing service and building the robust structures needed to support 100+ staff members. Demonstrable experience of a commercial mindset, meeting financial targets, understanding trade-offs within budgets, and managing team budgets.

Proven experience in being data-driven with decisions, prioritisation, and comfortable providing detailed updates to wider stakeholders at all levels of the business. Experience managing a mixed team of clinical and non-clinical staff Experience leading a large team through periods of rapid organisational change, e.g. a fast-paced startup/scaleup environment where roles and processes evolve quickly.

Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Design At the University of Bath, engineering and design sit at the heart of our academic identity and our ambitions for the decade ahead. As we develop Strategy 2036, our framework for global excellence, outstanding people, and high-impact research and education, we are seeking a Dean of the Faculty of Engineering & Design to lead that agenda from the front. This appointment comes at a pivotal moment. With a new institutional strategy taking shape and significant opportunities ahead in research, education, and global engagement, the Faculty is well positioned for its next phase, and it now needs the right leader to drive it forward. About the Faculty The Faculty of Engineering & Design is one of Bath's largest and most distinguished academic communities, comprising four top-performing departments: Architecture & Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electronic & Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Home to approximately 3,000 students and over 300 staff, with student entry standards among the highest in the UK. Research is organised around three large-scale themes (digital, health, and sustainability) delivered through a network of interdisciplinary centres, including IAAPS at the Bristol & Bath Science Park, alongside centres specialising in bioengineering, climate adaptation, sustainable energy, and advanced manufacturing. About the Role As Dean, you will hold three distinct and equally important leadership responsibilities: - Faculty Leader: setting direction, shaping culture, and driving performance; raising research quality, building a compelling educational offer, championing commercialisation, and creating an environment where exceptional people do their best work. - Academic Executive: working closely with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost on strategic planning, budget setting, student number targets, and KPI delivery, with direct accountability for the Faculty's financial sustainability. - Institutional Leader: sitting on the University Executive Board from day one, contributing to Bath's wider institutional strategy and policy beyond the Faculty. Key priorities include developing a compelling and diverse educational offer; enhancing research performance and commercialisation; growing global engagement and transnational education; strengthening culture, equality, diversity and inclusion; and ensuring strong financial management. About You You will bring academic and/or professional qualifications relevant to the Faculty, with the credibility to lead a top-performing engineering community. You will have a proven record of leadership in higher education, motivating and developing academic and professional staff in an open, inclusive, and collaborative style. You will be an exceptional communicator, confident across a wide range of audiences, with a track record of leading change and delivering strategic results. A sound understanding of the national and international higher education landscape is essential. Why Bath? Bath is distinctive: compact, campus-based, and cohesive. It is a place where leaders see strategy become reality. You will join at a moment of genuine momentum, working alongside a Vice-Chancellor who is an engineer, a Provost deeply invested in Faculty performance, and a senior leadership team committed to excellence. This is a role with real autonomy: trusted to lead, empowered to act, and supported to succeed.
