About the role



As Student Experience Coordinator, you'll play a vital part in supporting our students' academic journey and sense of belonging. Working closely with both Professional Services and academic colleagues, you'll support key initiatives including attendance monitoring, peer-to-peer academic support programmes (such as student mentoring and Peer Assisted Learning), and student voice activities.

This is a varied and rewarding role that requires a balance of organisation, initiative, and collaboration. You'll be supporting individual student success while also helping shape the wider student experience across the Faculty. You'll need to manage detailed administrative processes while building positive relationships with students and staff alike.

About you



You'll be someone who thrives in a busy, student-focused environment and brings care and consistency to everything you do. With a keen eye for detail and excellent administrative skills, you'll be confident managing processes and data, but just as comfortable working with people.

Kindness, calmness, and resilience are essential--you'll often be the first point of contact for students navigating challenges, and your ability to listen and respond supportively will make a real difference. A strong team ethic, flexibility, and a positive, can-do attitude will help you contribute fully to our collaborative working culture. If you're eager to learn, adaptable, and passionate about supporting students to succeed, we'd love to hear from you.
