Loughborough University is looking for a Software Developer to join our Student Information Systems team to support in Statutory Returns.
In this role, year-round, you will be supporting the implementation and production of the university’s many statutory returns, which are submitted to external reporting bodies. You will ensure each is prepared and submitted ahead of their submission deadlines. This will require a close working relationship with both the Planning and Student Records and Operations Teams.
There will also be the opportunity to get involved in the wider work the Student Information Systems Team undertakes, through the completion of Support Work, System Enhancements and Projects.
As a member of IT Services, you can expect:
* Support in developing your career, allowing you to progress towards your goals in a friendly environment.
* Mentoring and development opportunities including exposure to a wide breadth of technologies.
* To work closely with all our partners from across the University to support digital transformation and deliver outstanding levels of service that are recognised as the best in the country by our students in the National Student Survey.
* A supportive dynamic working policy with flexible home/hybrid working where possible.
* A superb 440-acre green site in the heart of Leicestershire with first-rate facilities, plenty of open space, gardens, and sports areas.
* A great salary and benefits package, generous holiday allowance and pension scheme.
IT Services is largely based in Holywell Park, a beautiful area of our green campus with a large car park, good public transport links, next to Burleigh Woods. Loughborough IT came top in the National Student Survey for IT resources & facilities in supporting learning for 2021 & 2022.
We have a very supportive culture and understanding of work/life balance, with hybrid working available. Staff particularly enjoy the flexibility available and the opportunity to contribute to interesting University wide projects. Colleagues have a wide variety of backgrounds from different areas, bringing a broad range of experiences.
Training is encouraged via secondment opportunities, lots of internal courses run by Organisational Development, job shadowing, as well as online learning and external providers. Departmental lunches allow us to get together to meet all colleagues in person on a regular basis, in an informal setting.
Diversity of experience, thought and perspective enriches our university and the lives of its community. It is crucial to our ongoing development as an international institution. We strive to create a culture that supports equality and celebrates diversity throughout the campus, and we are actively seeking to make our team more diverse.
Applications for job-share, part-time and flexible working arrangements are welcomed and will be considered in line with business needs.
