Senior Faculty Student Success Officer

This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

This role is intended to maximise student success amongst students from a wide range of backgrounds - particularly amongst students at risk of non-continuation and lower than expected degree attainment.

The Faculty Student Success Officer will act as a 'data translator'; leading on the interpretation, dissemination and presentation of Student Success data within Faculty, helping to identify priority groups and focus areas.

The Faculty Student Success Officer will identify students using learner analytics and other tools. They will liaise with key stakeholders to help achieve the best possible outcomes.  

This work will involve liaising with academic and professional staff within the faculty and more widely, to help ensure that University staff, activities and processes are supportive of groups at risk including those from widening participation backgrounds.

You will be expected to robustly evaluate and report on the impact of support delivered to understand the outcome of the work and to ensure that it is appropriately targeted and delivered.

In addition, you may provide information to students, signposting existing support mechanisms as appropriate. This post will be one of a number across the institution and will be part of a formal network of support officers.
