The Skills Centre is recruiting three Student Co-Creators (SCCs) to work with the Digital and Academic Skills Team to support the development, enhancement and promotion of skills provision through a range of exciting new projects.

These roles offer an opportunity to bring the student perspective into the design and promotion of skills resources, platforms and communications. You will work in partnership with staff to research student needs, co-create content, review resources and support student-facing messaging. You will also have the opportunity to develop skills in digital resource creation, research, marketing and communications and project management.

Each Student Co-Creators will be aligned to one of the three skills domains i.e., Academic Skills, Digital Skills or Employability Skills, and will work with the team on new projects including:

• Employability Skills: Shaping how students engage with the My Employability Profile platform and supporting its development so students can reflect on, evidence and articulate their skills development.

The Role

The role aims to support your personal and professional development, helping you to build confidence, capability and a clear understanding of the value of student engagement work.

Research

You will gather student feedback, identify needs and explore best practice to understand how the Skills Centre can engage with a diverse range of students. This may include surveys, interviews, focus groups and other research activities.

Development and Creation

Accessibility and Inclusivity

Across all activities, you will help identify barriers to accessing skills support and contribute to improving accessibility and inclusivity of resources and platforms.
