The role will require strong project management skills, collaborative working across the institution and an understanding of complex processes. You will also need a sound understanding and experience of evaluation to advise, lead and support the development of a robust collection of evidence-informed student success activities. 

What we offer in return:

  • 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That’s 42 days a year!
