You will bring substantial experience in leading people and organisational development within large, complex organisations. You will have a proven track record of delivering high-quality people services, coupled with expertise in managing organisational change.

Your skills in providing expert advice across a wide range of people-related issues will be critical, and experience of managing trade unions is essential. Above all, you will share our passion for promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion at all levels.

Goldsmiths is an exciting, dynamic, and rewarding place to work. We are committed to offering a transformative educational experience, generating new knowledge, and encouraging self-discovery through creative, bold, and intellectually rigorous approaches.
