About the Student Engagement and Achievement Team

The Student Engagement & Achievement (SE&A) Team leads the University of Derby’s strategic approach to student engagement, continuation and success. The team focuses on key academic transitions, using engagement data and student insight to design and deliver targeted interventions, particularly for students who may be at risk of disengagement. Working collaboratively across the University, SE&A supports improved progression, retention and achievement, contributing to positive outcomes aligned with Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) priorities.

About the role

This opportunity is available for University of Derby Graduates who have graduated within the last 2 years only!

We are seeking a Student Engagement & Achievement Graduate Intern to support proactive work with students who may be experiencing challenges with engagement. Working within the SE&A Team, the post holder will make contact with students identified as being at risk of disengagement, using supportive conversations to understand individual circumstances and encourage re-engagement with their studies.

The role involves active listening, guiding students to appropriate University services and helping students feel confident in continuing their academic journey. You will contribute to wider work that supports student progression, retention and a positive student experience, while working closely with colleagues across the University.

This is a collaborative role with opportunities for learning, development and support within a friendly, student focused team.

You will be comfortable communicating with students in potentially sensitive situations, using empathy, professional judgement and clear communication to identify appropriate next steps.

You will be confident using Microsoft Office (or equivalent), able to produce accurate records, and have strong interpersonal skills for both written and verbal communication. An understanding of data protection requirements and the importance of inclusive practice is essential. Awareness of the diverse backgrounds and experiences of students, and the barriers that may affect engagement, would be welcomed.

To be eligible for this Graduate Internship, applicants must be a University of Derby graduate who has completed their qualification within the last two years. The role requires a flexible approach to working, including occasional evening and weekend activity in line with the academic year, such as supporting Clearing, Open Days and Graduation.

Maintain accurate and up to date student records by logging interactions and tracking engagement activity in line with data management requirements.

Use a student-centred approach to identify barriers to engagement and signpost students to appropriate internal services, ensuring recommendations are clear, timely and responsive to individual needs.

Work under the guidance of the Student Engagement and Achievement team to continually aim to improve student engagement.

Work in accordance with university policies and procedures (including Equality and Diversity and Data Management), promote social mobility, equality and diversity for students and staff and sustain an inclusive environment.

Undertake training as required, taking responsibility for maintaining and updating knowledge and skills.

Support University wide duties in line with demand throughout the academic year. This will include supporting at Clearing, Open Days and Graduation.

Equity, diversity and inclusion

The University of Derby is committed to promoting equity, diversity and inclusion, regardless of age, disability, trans status, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief (or none), sex and sexual orientation.

We are Disability Confident Employers, demonstrating our commitment to disability inclusion, and invite applicants to highlight adjustments they may require to ensure equitable participation in our recruitment processes.

Further, we are committed to ensuring an environment which is trans and non-binary-inclusive for all our staff, students, partners, and visitors, and continuously review our policies, guidance and training.

When applying to join the University, you can choose your preferred title, including the gender-neutral title 'Mx'. We also ask our candidates if they would like to share their preferred pronouns. This is voluntary but demonstrates our commitment to inclusivity for trans and non-binary candidates. Once employed, you can add pronouns and preferred names onto our system.

This demonstrates the practical steps we are taking to remove barriers to recruitment by minimising the possible impact of our unconscious bias.

However you identify, we actively celebrate the knowledge, experience and talents each person brings. Our students come from a wide range of backgrounds; therefore we are particularly interested to hear from applicants who will help our leaders and teams be more reflective of our student population.
