Who we are:
NMITE is a new kind of higher education provider, built around the needs of todays students and tomorrows workplaces.
Our approach is immersive and practical. Students learn full:time in studio environments, working collaboratively on real:world challenges while developing the confidence, communication and professional skills that set them apart.
Because our students learn differently, we support them differently. We take a flexible, student:centred approach, adapting support to individual needs and helping each student grow into an independent, capable and work:ready graduate.
We are looking for people who share this belief : who are passionate about student development and excited to help shape a genuinely different learning experience.

Working within a block:based curriculum and 9:5 studio environment, you will support students in real time as they navigate intensive learning. You will help them develop effective learning habits, build confidence, and translate academic experience into real:world capability.

* Supporting students to become independent, self:directed learners, with a focus on learning how to learn .
* Helping students develop real:world skills, including teamwork, problem:solving, adaptability and professional communication.
* Monitoring student engagement, attendance and performance, using data to identify early signs of disengagement and implement timely interventions.
* Building positive, professional relationships that support student confidence, resilience and progression.
* Providing pastoral support, using counselling:informed approaches (e.g. active listening, empathy and appropriate boundaries), and signposting as required.
* Collaborating with academic teams to ensure learning is accessible and inclusive for all students.
* Contributing to programme and module review processes to support continuous improvement in student outcomes and experience.
* Supporting key stages of the student lifecycle, including recruitment, onboarding, transition and progression.
