Our Organisation
Nelson and Colne College Group is a beacon for educational excellence, made up of a family of colleges – Nelson & Colne College, Lancashire Adult Learning & Accrington & Rossendale College.
Together the Group forms a Sixth Form, Skills and Technology Centre, University Centre, employer training and adult learning provider delivering exceptional teaching and learning to all ages and at all levels.
The Exciting Role
A new and exciting opportunity has become available for a Data Quality Assurance Officer to join our dedicated team on a full-time permanent basis, working 37 hours per week. The ILR Data team uses the student and course information collected on the College’s student records system to produce a monthly computerised return for the Education and Skills Funding Agency, the government department which funds FE colleges. We appreciate that few people will have direct experience of this type of work, therefore we are inviting applications from people who have good IT skills, enjoy working with information, and who enjoy solving puzzles. Although this may seem a very technical role, full training will be provided and the role would suit anyone who has used computerised systems previously to check and analyse information, who has an eye for detail, and who likes things to be right!
This role will be based at our Accrington and Rossendale College site, however, travel across sites may occasionally be required and there is also the opportunity to work remotely at certain times. You will be working as part of a small but close-knit team who pride themselves on doing an excellent job and are extremely supportive and friendly.
What You Will Be Doing
o Using various software packages, you will run files for checking in conjunction with the other members of the ILR team, and use exception reports to resolve discrepancies.
o Carry out regular checks on the data to make sure the College is drawing all the funding to which it is entitled.
o Resolve any issues arising from this work, liaising with curriculum staff to sort out queries as required.
o Make sure data complies with funding and audit guidance and advise where issues arise.
o Add information provided by other teams, such as exam results, bursary information and student destinations.
What We Are Looking For:
• GCSE English and Maths at grade C/4 or higher
• Level 3 qualification in Administration or equivalent experience
• Good knowledge of Microsoft Excel
• Experience of using a computerised database to input and retrieve information
• A passion for accuracy and an eye for detail
• Experience of using the EBS student records system (desirable but not essential)
What We Offer in Return:
• Eligibility to join the Local Government Pension Scheme
• Generous annual leave allowance including a two-week closure over the Christmas period
• A range of health and wellbeing benefits and support
• Staff recognition scheme, including long service awards
• Fantastic family friendly policies
• Free on-site parking on all College sites
