As well as your experience from participating in UWE Futures yourself, you will have an interest in engaging with our diverse community of students and staff through digital content and in person events and discussions. You will have some experience in managing social media platforms and creating engaging content, and an interest in evaluation and analysing data to assess the effectiveness of our campaigns and engagement.
