**Performance Review**: Participating in and contributing to performance and development reviews to ensure alignment with university aims.

**Health and Safety**: Adhering to health and safety policies and promoting a safe environment for all.

**Diversity and Inclusion**: Upholding the university's commitment to equality, diversity, respect, and dignity in all aspects of student support.

To excel in this role, you'll need:

**Financial Management**: Ability to manage budgets, work with financial systems, and navigate operational planning and complex projects.

**Regulatory Understanding**: A solid grasp of legal and regulatory aspects relevant to higher education, such as Student Finance, UKVI, Safeguarding, or Prevent, with an awareness of the external impact of higher education.

**Communication Skills**: Excellent oral and written communication skills are a must, along with a high level of IT literacy to effectively advise staff and colleagues and produce complex reports.

**Customer Service Excellence**: Proven experience in leading excellent customer service initiatives, aligned with a commitment to service excellence values.

**Interpersonal Skills**: Demonstrable ability to manage and motivate diverse teams, facilitate performance through training and coaching, and navigate formal processes.

**Strategic Decision-Making**: Proven track record of contributing significantly to strategic decision-making processes, coupled with creative problem-solving skills to address complex issues and devise cost-effective solutions.

**Professional Qualification**: A professional qualification in Student Support Services or equivalent, coupled with evidence of continuous professional development.
