Summary
Responding to the growing demand for insight led decision making, the Future Students department at USW is seeking to recruit a fixed term maternity cover for the post of Insights Officer.
This multifaceted post plays a central role in supporting the Insights Team in delivering a schedule of projects and reporting outputs relating to student recruitment and portfolio development.

If you are a successful candidate and this position will be your first professional services role at the University (or you are currently employed by PSS Ltd), you will be employed by Professional and Support Services Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of South Wales, which provides services to the University and Colleges.
