The School of Natural and Built Environment (NBE) at Queen’s University Belfast, is currently seeking to appoint an exceptional candidate to the post of Student Support Officer.
The Construction & Project Management (CPM) and Building Information Modelling Project Management (BIMPM) MSc programmes have become increasingly popular in recent years with a growing and increasingly diverse student cohort. The School is committed to supporting all our students to achieve their full potential and is therefore seeking to recruit a Student Support Officer, initially for a period of 3 years, with possible extension depending on the outcomes. Joining our CPM/BIMPM programme delivery team and reporting to the CPM and BIMPM Programme Directors, your role will be to support student engagement, learning and wellbeing, primarily in the CPM and BIMPM cohort, but with a secondary role in coordinating improved PGT student engagement across the School.
You will also have a School-wide role in coordinating actions to improve and monitor student engagement and feedback, including for NSS and PTES. It is envisaged that the CPM/BIMPM programmes will become exemplars on effective student support within the School.
The successful candidate must have, and your application should clearly demonstrate you have:
A relevant University Degree or a relevant equivalent professional qualification AND a minimum of 3 years’ relevant experience providing advice and guidance to students, in support of their wellbeing and or academic progression.
