Quality Assurance Officer
Permanent, full-time
Closing Date: 20 March 2025 at 12:00
Team Overview
The team is responsible for supporting the oversight of the quality and standards of UCEM awards and the student experience. It does this via co-ordinating the development of a framework of documentation detailing the policies, procedures and regulations involved and through internal quality audit. The team is responsible for managing relationships with the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies, External Examiners and working with other teams to respond to student complaints and appeals. The team is also responsible for the arrangements for the approval, amendment, monitoring, review and enhancement of UCEM programmes.
What do you love most about working in your team?
The team is really passionate about enhancement and is always looking for ways that it can improve how it operates. Whilst each member of the team has their own tasks and responsibilities the team works really well collaboratively ensuring that all members are fully supported and that large team projects can be delivered.
What is the impact of your team’s work?
The team through working with others (including senior managers, academics, student support teams and students) ensures that students receive a high-quality student experience and that UCEM continues to meet the requirements of regulatory bodies to allow it to continue to operate. The team regularly attends external webinars and quality networks to ensure that it keeps up to date with sector best practice in order that this information can be shared across the institution.
What’s your favourite thing about working for UCEM?
There are lots of things I love about working at UCEM. I can probably narrow it down to two key things, firstly, the people that work at UCEM. Staff are so friendly and supportive, always willing to go the extra mile to help each other out and also to support our students. Secondly, our strategy and ambitions to grow and develop as an organisation.

Careers Adviser
Permanent, full-time
Closing Date: 18 March 2025 at 17:00
Learning Technologist
Permanent, full-time
Closing Date: 14 March 2025 at 12:00
Team Overview
The team implement and administer the Learning Technology systems that are used to deliver UCEM programmes to our students. The work of the team ranges from the day to day business as usual activities (platform administration, course set-up, user queries), identifying (and delivering) opportunities to improve efficiency / user experience and researching, evaluating and implementing new systems.
What do you love most about working in your team?
I can’t only select one for this. Firstly, there is variety in the work– whether this involves solving a problem, implementing a system or determining ways to enhance and continually improve our systems there is always the opportunity for a challenge. Second, and most importantly, it’s the people – we support each other and have a range of skills that complement and provide the chance for all to learn and develop.
What is the impact of your team’s work?
The systems that we look after and implement are fundamental to the learning experience of our students. Essentially how they are set-up and run is the foundation of our course delivery. This then enables all of the other excellent teams involved in our courses to support our students.
What’s your favourite thing about working for UCEM?
Years ago I would have gone for something related to sport, now though, I would say the vision of the UCEM, the aim to be the Centre of Excellence in our area is a great motivation. You feel part of a much larger and wider aim that is having a significant contribution to the built environment.

Equality Diversity and Inclusion
Here at UCEM we champion Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in our workforce. We began our EDI journey in Autumn 2021 by forming an EDI Staff Working Group, which meets regularly to plan and implement changes and developments that will bring us closer to our goal of having a more diverse and inclusive workforce. We do not have a “tick-box mentality” but instead are committed to embedding real and lasting change within our institution. As an online education provider for the Built Environment we want our staff to be representative of the diverse and global student body that we serve. Please see our Equality Diversity and Inclusion Policy for details on how this relates to our recruitment and selection process.
Overseas Working
We also wish to be transparent about where UCEM job roles are located and the conditions around right to work; full details can be found within our Overseas Working – Place of Work Policy. UCEM job roles must be carried out in the country in which they are based, which is currently the United Kingdom or Hong Kong.
