• Review student engagement and reach out to students to check their progress and identify any required interventions and/or support.
• Use learner analytics data to identify students at risk of failure and deliver effective intervention strategies in liaison with Academic Coaches and other colleagues. 
• Refer students to other support departments and services.
• You will have experience of working within a demanding customer service environment, where you were required to have a broad knowledge of a number of different services.  You will have excellent communication skills and experience of being the first point of contact.  You will be able to deal calmly with difficult or sensitive situations and work cooperatively as part of a team.
