The Role

Are you an organised, detail-oriented individual who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced academic environment? This is an exciting opportunity to join the University of Greater Manchester as a Student Data Administration Assistant within our Student Data Management (SDM) team.

You will support the integrity and management of key student data processes, including helping deliver the University’s new digital certificates solution - a vital step forward in our digital transformation.

Your previous experience may include working in a customer-facing, administrative and/or data-handling environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the maintenance and accuracy of student records, including awards and data in systems such as SITS and the new digital certificates platform.
  • Contribute to the data checking and collection required for statutory reporting (e.g. HESA, HESES, ILR).
  • Manage the University’s archive of historic paper records and support their digitisation.
  • Respond to student queries and provide timely, professional support.
  • Assist across SDM operational areas during peak times, including enrolment, graduation, and results.
  • Help ensure compliance with data protection regulations and institutional policies.
  • Participate in ongoing planning, performance tracking, and continuous service improvement.

Why Join Us?

The University of Greater Manchester is driving forward a bold vision for the future. As part of the SDM team, you will be at the heart of major digital transformation initiatives—including the rollout of digital certificates - and work alongside skilled, supportive colleagues in a collaborative environment.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including professional development opportunities, flexible working arrangements, and access to a range of wellbeing and lifestyle resources.
