Student Engagement Coach (Fixed-term, Full or Part-time)

Are you passionate about supporting students to make the most of their time at university? Is inclusive education at the heart of everything you do? Do you get a buzz from working with international students? Then, we invite you to join our growing international community. In the last couple of years, the University of Roehampton has successfully expanded its international student recruitment. Due to this expansion, an exciting opportunity has arisen for someone to co-create and deliver a structured approach to student engagement and support transition, progression and completion. 

We are looking for two Student Engagement Coaches (SECs) to join our Department of Student Support and Success Services. Each SEC will be aligned to an academic school and will be required to work closely with academic tutors to ensure students receive the most appropriate guidance and support relevant to their needs. This role will involve tracking student engagement and performance data, producing study plans, arranging group and individual activities and monitoring progress.

You will be passionate about supporting students, highly organized and with excellent written and verbal communication skills. You will have the ability to build relationships with key student support services departments in the University. Experience of working in HE and familiarity with student reporting systems is desirable.

At Roehampton, we change lives by helping our students to develop the confidence, knowledge and adaptability they need for a successful graduate career and fulfilling life.

We are a supportive, close-knit and inclusive community, with a proud history in higher education stretching back more than 175 years. Our values come from this rich history, built on community, engagement and partnership, with a belief that no matter their background, we can help our students to realise their ambitions.  Our graduates today have excellent employment prospects, and are part of a thriving and diverse global community of Roehampton alumni.

We provide an engaging portfolio of courses across the creative arts, social sciences, law, humanities, literature, education, business, and human and life sciences, including nursing. We also have an excellent research profile. With international reach, our research informs policy, enriches culture and improves people’s lives. 

We are based on a beautiful 64-acre parkland campus, located in the heart of south-west London. Our staff have access to excellent facilities and a generous range of staff benefits.

The safety of staff, students and the wider community is our priority and work will continue across the University to ensure comply with prevailing guidance in relation to Covid-19.
