Are you passionate about making a tangible difference in students' lives and shaping inclusive educational practice? We are looking for a highly motivated Student Success and Inclusion Adviser to join our new team within Education Development Services at the University of Sheffield.

We need a proactive, organised, and empathetic individual with a strong commitment to student success. Your ability to work independently and as part of a team will be essential. You will have experience in developing and delivering development programmes, a collaborative approach, and excellent communication skills. Your ability to influence academic practice and use data to evaluate impact will be essential in helping us achieve our institutional goals.

We offer a fantastic range of benefits, including a highly competitive annual leave entitlement (with the ability to purchase more), a generous pension scheme, flexible working opportunities, a commitment to your development and well-being, a wide range of retail discounts, and much more.
