Education Policy Officer (Monitoring & Review)

Working arrangements: Monday – Friday, 35 hours per week. Current working arrangements are hybrid, with some time in the office and some time working from home.

The Role

This role will provide dedicated support for monitoring and review of internal and external datasets such as B3 and TEF metrics from the OfS (manipulating and analysing data, producing monitoring reports, and providing committees, departments and services with appropriate analysis). The post holder will support AQS’ annual review and monitoring processes, providing data and guidance for academic departments, and undertaking analysis and reporting of departmental responses. The post holder will liaise with key colleagues in cognate offices (including Student Registry), to support interrogation, analysis and dissemination of centrally held datasets.

The post holder will also provide education policy support for the office, analysing regulations, external guidance and data, taking the lead on relevant areas of policy/process development, and supporting committees and working groups, as agreed with their line manager and/or the Head of section. This will involve liaising with senior members of staff within the Education Division (e.g. Heads of Service, Academic Registrar, PVC and Deputy PVC Education) and across the University, as necessary.

This post is being made available as a development role at Grade 6 in the first instance and, in addition to meeting the requirements of the role as it stands, the successful candidate will demonstrate that they have the ability and potential to development the necessary knowledge and skills require of a Grade 7 position. Upon appointment, a development plan will be created with input from the successful candidate, focussing on the requirements of the Grade 7 role, and taking into account their individual needs. This plan will be regularly reviewed and will form the basis of an assessment to move to the Grade 7 role. It is anticipated that the development process will take 2 years to complete; however, it may be extended if the University considers it necessary. Upon successful completion of the development plan, the post-holder would move to the Grade 7 post (Senior Education Support Officer) outlined here: Job Description - Grade 7. If the post-holder was unable to meet the full requirements of the Grade 7 post at the end of the development process then, subject to performance, they may be retained in the Grade 6 post.
