In May 2016 the University created a policy and public affairs function to support the Vice-Chancellor. Since then the work has expanded so a Policy Officer’s position has been created to assist the Strategic Policy Adviser in his role supporting the Vice-Chancellor and senior management team.

The role would suit someone who is interested in a career in public affairs or public policy, who is interested in Higher Education policy and who is intellectually curious. Candidates must also be able to adapt to changing circumstances and be able to develop good relationships with people at different levels of organisations.

If you would like to arrange an informal conversation about the role before submitting an application please contact Ayesha Duvall on 023 9284 3116 or email dean.machin@port.ac.uk.
