About The Role
We are seeking a Student Engagement and Experience Assistant to join our Student Support team.
This role provides first-line support for a range of student-facing services, helping to ensure students can access the advice, guidance and support they need throughout their university journey.

- Monitor student engagement using available data and feedback to help identify students who may benefit from additional support, including engagement monitoring for Student Route visa holders.
- Initiate appropriate interventions and referrals, connecting students with relevant support services or academic mentors where additional guidance may be required.
- Facilitate effective communication between students, academic mentors and support teams, ensuring information is shared accurately and interactions are appropriately recorded and followed up.
