There are big changes happening at the University of East London. 125 years old and committed to driving diversity in the 5.0 talent pipeline, we work in partnership to promote talent wherever it is found and strive to create a balanced, inclusive and green future. Our newly-formed Strategic Development and Delivery directorate is set to play a big part in that future. Bringing colleagues together from across the university into one function to form service areas that include Data, Insights & Decision Support; Strategy & Performance; Portfolio & Benefits; and Change & Improvement, the aim is to combine our specialist expertise and sector knowledge to help deliver our strategy ‘Vision 2028’ and beyond.  

A great opportunity to inspire and bring influence, both to the role and wider university, as Head of Change Management you will have the voice and the remit to make a real mark across the university in the years ahead. Indeed, you could soon be playing a huge role at the heart of a supportive and dynamic team that’s committed to helping us achieve our ambitious goals.  

Among your many challenges will be the need to build, develop and lead a team of Change Managers, alongside embedding a comprehensive change management framework and toolkit and helping the university grow its change capability at all levels. Through collaboration with colleagues and stakeholders, you’ll develop the change management maturity and approach for the university to ensure leaders, managers and staff are equipped to lead, deliver and embed our transformation initiatives and vision. You’ll develop a community of change agents that help support and embed change to the benefit of the whole UEL community – these are just some facets of this rare opportunity. 

To succeed, you will need proven experience in leading teams on institutional-wide processes that have had a strategic influence and impact on a university or universities. You will also need the specialist knowledge and experience it takes to drive change management maturity including on activities that include topics like training, impact, culture and measurement.
