The University of Lincoln is a high achieving centre of academic excellence which has been recognised nationally and internationally. It is an ambitious, fast-paced, dynamic organisation with multiple stakeholders which strives always to improve the student and staff experience and engagement with the wider Lincoln community.
The sector and our university is in a period of unprecedented change, driven by the ambition of our new strategic plan and the expectations of our students and stakeholders. Our people are central to our success, their commitment to our university, is the foundation for the experience our students have whilst studying with us. Key to successfully navigating this time of change will be the successful implementation of a suite of strategic workforce projects implemented through a responsive, customer-focussed People, Performance and Culture (PPC) Directorate.
The PPC team are key to shaping and embedding a great colleague experience and we are now seeking a new Chief People Officer (CPO) to lead this team, deliver contemporary practice and evolve our thinking about the most important part of our organisation – our people.
