An exciting opportunity has arisen for an insightful, organised and collaborative person to join the award-winning Planning Team at the University of Huddersfield in partnership with Huddersfield Students' Union. You will contribute to an important programme of work exploring evaluate how engagement with Students' Union activities makes a difference to student outcomes.

As part of this role, you will bring together Students' Union engagement data and University student data to produce robust analyses, evaluations and recommendations. The work will consider outcomes including continuation, completion, attainment, and graduate progression, as well as the reach of Students' Union activity across different groups of students.

You will have, and be supported to develop further, strong analytical, evaluation and communication skills.
