General Counsel
About the role
We regulate a complex and diverse sector that is operating in a challenging and dynamic environment. Our work is wide-ranging: we set regulatory standards for course quality, consumer rights, freedom of speech, equality of opportunity, good governance and financial sustainability. We are increasingly using our regulatory tools, including where providers are responding to significant financial pressures and facing insolvency. To continue to protect the interests of students in this difficult context our approach to regulation needs to be confident and agile.
The General Counsel is a new post and will be a pivotal member of the OfS’s executive team, leading the legal function, and accountable directly to the Chief Executive. This is a rare opportunity for an experienced and mature legal professional to lead and shape the legal function of an important sector regulator. We are seeking an exceptional individual, with a well-judged appetite for risk, and the ability to translate technical legal advice across a range of domains for an ambitious strategic leadership team.
