The National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) has an unswerving commitment to high quality, evidence-informed teacher education, and is on a mission to improve the quality of teacher and leader development across the system.

The Registry team at the NIoT plays a crucial role in the mission of the NIoT by delivering services which support the administration of student records from enrolment through to graduation. The Registry ensures that all aspects of the student lifecycle meet regulatory requirements and provide an exceptional student experience.

This role will focus both on the monitoring of academic quality and standards to ensure they meet sector standards (e.g. the UK Quality Code and OfS sector recognised standards) and ensuring that academic casework and regulations are appropriately administered and handled in line with best practice through investigating, tracking and managing case work for academic appeals, complaints, fitness to practise and other academic policies and procedures.

Ensuring that best practice guidance from the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA) is adhered to when managing casework. The role will support with ensuring that appropriate academic quality and standards are upheld and processes such as annual reviews and programme approvals are implemented in line with the institution’s quality assurance manual.

If you are passionate about policy, regulations and casework and motivated by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in teacher development, we would love to hear from you.
