If your middle names are “Visionary” and “Numeracy”, an outstanding opportunity to report directly to the Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the Walter Sisulu University (WSU) has just come to the fore. Strategically located within the Eastern Cape, WSU represents the ‘gateway’ institution to a diverse and intriguing geographical landscape. As a developmental, comprehensive university, students have easy access to a wealth of academic choices, certificates to diplomas, degrees and postgraduate studies. The late Walter Sisulu would stand in awe of his namesake University, given its rich history, resilience, phenomenal growth and output successes. Are you ready to join the legacy?
Institutional planning, monitoring and evaluation for four pivotal campuses (circa 27 000 students), each with multiple delivery sites, is not for the fainthearted. Mthatha, Butterworth, Buffalo City (East London) and Komani (Queenstown), will soon become familiar turf for the ‘walk-about’ professional we seek. Giving evidence of 5 years plus proven experience in planning, monitoring and evaluation, with emphasis on enrolment planning, backed by a relevant Master’s degree, will have you out of the starting blocks. A PhD (added advantage), will give you the perfect start. Undeniable ability in collaborative relationships with senior management (faculty leadership and similar echelons of university staff), DHET and other Southern African universities, will see you down the straights with relative ease. Your relationship prowess is undergirded by your excellent written, oral and computer skills and evidenced by your proven ability to write high level proposals and reports. Analytical ability and clutterfree decision-making are second nature to you. And above all, your integrity and stature are unquestionable.
