You will also bring your expertise to the design and delivery of academic and personal skills development opportunities.

Alongside your student support responsibilities, you will contribute to teaching in a discipline-relevant area, strengthening your connection to the student experience.

* Supporting the development of students’ academic skills and confidence
* Contributing to an inclusive, personal development offer linked to the Bristol Skills Profile
