We are looking to recruit two Student Achievement Advisers to work with individual students and with groups to deliver academic skills tuition and support. The successful candidate will report to the Student Achievement Manager and will work alongside programme/departmental teams, including personal tutors, to encourage and support academic skill development.

As well as working with traditional undergraduate students, the role will involve supporting mature learners, apprentices, and foundation level students. Experience of working with students from widening participation backgrounds would be advantageous. In addition to English and literacy skill development, applications from those with experience of supporting learners with statistics, data handling and statistical software are welcome. 

Employees of the University have access to a wide range of benefits including our generous contributory pension schemes, excellent holiday entitlements, on-site sport and fitness centre membership, car park permit scheme and Employee Assistance Programme.  We also operate a free shuttle bus to Horsforth station and have an externally owned day nursery facility on campus, along with plenty of shopping, leisure, and travel discounts available.  Our health and wellbeing offer provides the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities and includes high quality health articles relating to current national and University specific initiatives.
