About the opportunity

Looking for a flexible part‑time role that fits around your other commitments? Join our Records Management Services team as a part-time Records Officer for 14 hours per week.

We’re looking for someone who is responsible, efficient, hardworking, and capable of balancing this role as a high priority alongside other commitments.

A major part of this role centres on Power BI (PBI) - maintaining, developing, and enhancing reports that support data‑driven decision‑making across the University.

This is an excellent opportunity to build practical skills in Power BI, programming, and records management within a supportive university environment.

Your key responsibilities will be to:

• Maintain and update existing Power BI (PBI) reports

• Develop new PBI reports using object‑oriented programming languages such as C# or Java

• Extract, transform and present TRIM data within Power BI dashboards

• Document report structures, definitions, and setup processes

• Troubleshoot data issues and ensure reporting accuracy

• Prioritise tasks and manage your workflow effectively to meet deadlines.

About you

• Strong experience using Power BI, including maintaining and developing reports

• Proficiency in C# programming, with the ability to apply object‑oriented programming principles

• Experience working with data sources such as TRIM or similar records management systems (or a willingness to learn quickly).

• Strong time‑management skills with the ability to prioritise tasks from a worklist

• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy in data‑related tasks

• Clear communication skills and a proactive, collaborative attitude.
