Head of Planning and Statutory Returns
Aston University’s 2030 strategy is Inclusive, Entrepreneurial and Transformational. We are building a new model of university for a changing world. Our vision is to be a leading university of science, technology and enterprise, measured by the positive transformational impact we achieve for our people, students, businesses and the communities we serve.
The post will lead the delivery and development of student number planning and forecasting processes, and the development and coordination of key student statutory returns at Aston University. Through management and leadership of the Planning and Statutory Returns Team, you will be responsible for leading a team of Planning and Statutory Returns Analysts to produce insightful and high-quality student management information to inform strategic decision making across the organisation.
You will work closely with senior leaders and managers across the university, as well as key committees and groups including the Audit and Risk Committee, bringing your expertise and experience to bear in facilitating, advising, and guiding the ongoing compliance of the University in our key regulatory and statutory obligations and informing strategic decision-making around the academic and curriculum planning of the university’s education and student experience agenda.
As an established technical and operational leader with significant practical experience of student number planning and student statutory returns, you will be central to the ongoing development and embedding of the HESA Data Futures initiative at Aston University and the increased utility of outputs from statutory returns in internal university processes. You will work closely with a range of stakeholders across the University to support the student data quality agenda and will keep the senior management team informed of key risks and developments in relation to the statutory reporting landscape. You will work closely with colleagues within data governance and policy and will be expected to proactively engage with the wider sector as well as statutory agencies.
What we offer:
- Aston University is a dynamic and vibrant campus located within Birmingham city centre, which has excellent transport links via bus or train. - Dynamic working is possible for this role, which means working both on campus and from home dependent on the activity. - Excellent training and development opportunities. - A generous annual leave scheme with 30 days’ bookable leave and a further 13 days of bank holiday and University closure days. - Everyday discounts on a number of activities and retailers. - Great family-friendly policies. - On-site gym and pool with discounted staff membership available. - Further information on our Benefits and Rewards can be found on our website.
