Following a 2013 review of the Programme Lead job description, a single generic job description has been agreed that represents the duties and responsibilities for each role holder across all four Faculties. For most role holders the revisions will be minor but where a current Programme Lead has a greater degree of change (e.g. line management) then full training and support will be provided to help the role holder in those duties.

The responsibilities of Subject Coordinators were also slightly revised as was the workload planning tariff, as a result of the review.

Further role descriptions are also available on this page for information although these may vary slightly in content depending on the Faculty.
