St Hugh’s College, Oxford
St Hugh’s is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford, and the second-largest college in the University by student numbers, with a long-standing commitment to academic excellence, inclusion, and widening access. The College supports a diverse and active academic environment across a wide range of disciplines, bringing together students, academic staff and professional services colleagues in support of its core academic mission. Situated on a beautiful site near the new Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities, the College is made up of 70 academics, 130 professional services staff and 900 students. The College offers a unique and vibrant environment in which to work.

This is a senior and influential role, with responsibility for the day-to-day leadership and long-term planning of the College’s operational teams. The postholder will oversee a broad portfolio, including accommodation, housekeeping, catering, conferencing and events, as well as site management and security.
