Your communication skills will enable you to engage effectively with a range of stakeholders, including students, professional services staff and academic colleagues. You will be confident analysing feedback or data, summarising trends and producing clear, accessible reports to support decision-making.



You are someone who values inclusivity and collaboration, and you’ll have a strong desire to support positive change that enhances the experience of our students.
