"Education Officer (Data)"

We are a world class research-intensive university. We deliver teaching and learning of the highest quality. We play a leading role in economic, social and cultural development of the North East of England. Attracting and retaining high-calibre people is fundamental to our continued success.

The Role Located on our main city centre campus, the School of Medicine provides current and innovative education and training to equip a workforce for the diverse challenges of the sector, and excels in relevant research.

Working under the leadership of the Education Manager (Assessment) our assessment team supports our MBBS programme on our Newcastle and NUMed Malaysia campuses, and our Physician Associate programme at Newcastle. As part of our assessment team, you will primarily be responsible for the collation and analysis of marks for student assessment and the provision of management information to support and advise the school’s senior leadership team to aid transparent decision making relating to assessment and student outcomes.

You will be naturally collaborative and will work closely with the wider team to support the full range of assessment processes in the School.

As the Education Officer (Data) with responsibility for the integrity of assessment data you will be an advanced user of Excel, with excellent data management skills and experience of analysing complex data sets. Assessment delivery will be your main focus, but you will also get involved in other aspects of programme delivery at key points in the academic year, including admissions, curriculum, placements in the UK and overseas, student experience, student wellbeing and many more business functions. As well as working with the immediate team in the University, assessment delivery also includes working with our key partners in the NHS and our NUMed campus in Malaysia.

You will use your communication skills to liaise with colleagues across the region who are involved in medical education and assessment. You will use specialised software and your problem-solving skills to provide accurate and insightful analysis of complex data.

This is a fast-paced role and, at times, can be pressured and occasionally may require working outside of normal hours.

Although training and ongoing support will be provided, it is essential you have the ability to navigate complex systems quickly and effectively, with a high degree of accuracy and an attention to detail.

The role is full-time at 37 hours per week. We would be happy to discuss arrangements for flexible and/or blended working.
