The Role and the Department
We are seeking to recruit a talented student support officer to join our team in the Faculty of Science in an interim capacity (12-month period). The Student Support Officers support the delivery of our ambitious strategy for world-leading student experience and to provide academic student support across our departments.
The hubs provide a key point of contact for students, offer advice and support to those students whose progress has faltered or who are experiencing difficulties and ensure all students receive timely and consistent advice to support their academic progress to ensure they have a successful learning and development experience. The Student Support Hubs work closely with student support staff within our colleges and our specialist student support services to ensure a package of support is put in place.
