The opportunity

We are seeking to appoint a Student Learning and Engagement Project Researcher to work closely with particular courses at CCW and LCC to inform the enhancement of targeted support to undergraduate students to improve levels of engagement and enhance pedagogic practice. The Project Researcher would take on a data informed evidence-based approach, utilising qualitative and quantitative data to review attendance and engagement data in order to understand the causes to low levels of student engagement and the most effective ways of responding to student needs.

The postholder will develop strong links with Course Leaders, student experience colleagues, and teaching and learning colleagues across Colleges and central teams to understand the differences and interconnections across respective offers and services. The latter should help inform recommendations for processes that better connect student support services to enhance pastoral care and student engagement.

The postholder will develop a clear understanding of how connected services and college relationships interconnect to ensure plans for a wider project does not duplicate existing work.
