Skills to develop

Identify areas of Student Services expertise that you need to develop

Being a great Student Services leader isn’t just about experience. It’s about knowing your strengths, spotting what you want to get better at and staying open to learning. The best leaders keep growing, lean on their networks and find new ways to face challenges with confidence.

Consolidate or document your experience

As a busy Student Services leader you’ll have developed a wealth of experience and expertise throughout your career. But the UK Student Services sector doesn’t have a formal framework for you to record and document what you know. So you may want to consider other ways to consolidate or document your expertise in a sector-recognised format. This can be useful if you’re looking to advance in your career or argue for more pay or status.
