The Education Officer is primarily responsible for the educational welfare for all undergraduate students. Whilst not necessary, having an interest in Learning and Teaching at both a local and national level will support the post-holder to actively engage with topical educational based issues that students will be experiencing from right across our academic disciplines.
As Education Officer you will become accustomed to networking with key stakeholders as well as regularly attend university committees where you would be championing the student voice. You would be liaising with staff and students from all areas of the university, this would include Student Leaders, Senior University Staff, as well as staff in both our Academic and Professional Services.
A key part of the role for the Education Officer is overseeing, supporting and promoting the academic representation system. This will include chairing Academic Council, attending Academic Exec and empowering all our Academic Reps and Faculty Reps to become active members of the university community. By working and forming relationships with our elected reps, the Education Officer will become aware of significant students' issues and concerns and will be able to use this feedback to inform staff from across the university, whilst seeking and encouraging positive change.
In addition to the above the Education Officer will work closely with the Postgraduate Officer to attend key university events, to run educational campaigns whilst ensuring that all students feel they are getting value for money from their degrees.
