Senior Study Skills Advisor (coaching and engagement)

Full Time – High Wycombe

Salary - £33,951 - £37,694

We’re not trying to fit in with the higher education status quo. We’re challenging it. We’re doing things differently – because our students, our staff, and our world need us to.

So this is an exciting moment to join us. We’re boldly reimagining what a university can be: a place rooted in social mobility, a community where difference is celebrated, and an institution that empowers people to become more than they thought possible.

We are looking for a Senior Study Skills Advisor to join Library and Learning Services in a new role focussing on academic coaching to support our students to reach their full potential. Committed to student success, you will work directly with students to help them identify their strengths, clarify their goals, and build the confidence and strategies needed to succeed in higher education. You will design and deliver support that goes beyond traditional study skills, using a coaching-led approach to develop resilience, independence and effective long-term learning habits. Working closely with academic and professional services colleagues, you will help ensure early, joined-up support is in place for students who may be at risk, taking a data-informed approach to identify need, plan targeted interventions, and evaluate their impact.

What we offer:

a generous holiday entitlement (30 days per annum, plus bank holidays & closure days)
Hybrid working (dependent on business needs)
training & development support opportunities
contributory pension scheme
free gym membership for our on-site gym
a range of staff discounts with major retailers.

Please click here to see our wide range of benefits available for employees.
Please click here for our behavioural based interview question bank.
Please click here to view our employee handbook.

If you have the qualities and attributes representative of the University’s values and ambition, we would be delighted to hear from you.

For further information about this role please contact Rachel Scott Halls, [email protected].

All applications are to be made in full and online.

We are committed to promoting an inclusive and diverse workplace and aim to continue building an environment where everyone thrives and can be themselves.

Please let us know if you require any adjustments or support during the recruitment process. We are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that would enable you to perform to the best of your abilities in your role. Please reach out if you have any specific needs or if you would like more information on how we can support you

We ensure that our interview/shortlisting Chairs complete the relevant e-learning and/or inclusive recruitment training.

If you’re considering using AI to support your application, we encourage you to question the value it adds. The use of AI tools sometimes erodes authenticity and prevents us from being able to assess the real you. We strongly recommend you prepare your application using your own skills and knowledge and that AI is only used for the purpose of review.

Closing Date: 18th July 2026

Interview Date: Week commencing 3rd August 2026

If you are invited to interview for this role, you will need to provide evidence of your eligibility to work in the UK and if on a visa, current visa and status. Sponsorship is dependent on the salary level of the position and this role can only be sponsored via the new entrant route if eligible.

BNU is a Disability Confident employer and as such you will be given the opportunity to declare a disability as part of the application process.
