Established in 1904, we have a strong tradition of academic excellence, reflected in first-class student education, along with world-leading research that has a real impact around the globe.

The Lifelong Learning Centre (LLC) is a multi-disciplinary centre working with a diverse group of students especially where this enables participation of people from groups that are under-represented in higher education.

You will work with individual and small groups of students to help them understand expectations, develop confidence, enhance their digital skills and navigate university systems and processes. You will work within defined professional boundaries and refer students to support and academic skills services where necessary to ensure that they receive the most appropriate support and advice.
