About the role

The Assessments and Partnerships Officer role sits within the Assessments and Progression team which covers procedures relating to Assessment Boards, alumni record enquiries, exceptional circumstances, academic misconduct cases and appeal claims.

The Assessments and Partnerships Officer’s specific portfolio is to focus on the student records for students studying at Bath Spa University’s partner educational institutions and students at additional campuses.   The post-holder takes a lead on liaising with key contacts at the partner colleges and additional campuses, link tutors and other internal and external stakeholders to ensure that clear procedures and protocols are in place, identify potential issues, and seek to apply appropriate solutions.
