Student Engagement Co-ordinator x2

Student Support

Qualified to Degree level, with recent experience of working or studying in a higher education or support setting, you will be confident in working with data and, with training, our student case management system. You will work with tutors early on to identify students at risk of failure, providing timely support, guidance and referrals to specialist support as needed. 

You will have experience of planning, delivering or co-ordinating student support interventions, as well as good communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to build rapport and foster good working relationships with students, academic and support staff.

All four SEC roles work closely with the International Student Co-ordinator, academic staff and students, wider teams across the Directorate, and the university as a whole, to address student retention and progression early on, contributing to student success and a positive student experience. You should be committed to enabling learners from diverse backgrounds to succeed and reach their full potential, ensuring they engage and benefit from the wide range of support and services available to them. You will also have a good understanding of the student lifecycle and range of needs and support needed at different points in the academic year; from pre-entry and induction through to graduation.  

With each post based at our Lancaster and our Ambleside campuses respectively, the roles will be aligned to one or more Institute, with some paid travel to other campuses on occasion as required. During quieter periods, some hybrid working is possible based on business need.

These posts are full time and permanent; Monday to Friday 9-5, with some flexibility on occasion to meet the needs of our diverse learners.
