\"\"<\/a>Ever wondered what\u00a0the\u00a0HWB Planning and Initiatives<\/strong> team\u00a0gets up to during the working day? Now’s your chance to find out! As part of our new\u00a0Meet the team<\/strong> series, we’ve asked members of the HWB Planning and Initiatives team\u00a0to give us a brief snapshot of their roles and responsibilities (with a few interesting facts thrown in as well!) . . .<\/p>\n

Mandy Blake<\/strong>, Planning & Initiatives Manager<\/p>\n

Overview of Role<\/strong>: I lead the Planning & Initiatives Team. My priority in this new role is to create a service offer for the faculty as a result of PSOM. This is a mix of business planning activities, including student target number setting and fees setting. Undertaking projects at both University and faculty level which are faculty priorities.\u00a0I am about to join the project team for South Yorkshire Healthy Futures whose aim is to help people in South Yorkshire live healthier, happier and longer lives.\u00a0As a team we will shortly be promoting our service offer and look forward to sharing this with you.<\/p>\n

Claire Woodward<\/strong>, Planning and Initiatives Officer<\/p>\n

Overview of Role:<\/strong> My role is to support Health and Wellbeing with change improvement work.\u00a0Working with staff across all departments this could be looking at process improvements or assisting with delivery of specific activities. I also assist with the annual fee setting process for HWB as well as dealing with fee queries.<\/p>\n

I am secretary for the Leading Locally Engaging Globally Pillar Board, supporting activities of the board and administrating the approval process for new courses and re-approvals.<\/p>\n

Hobby<\/strong>: Cake baking and decorating.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rachel Rea<\/strong>, Planning and Initiatives Officer<\/p>\n

Overview of Role:<\/strong> I work part-time (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday), balancing work with family life. My role as Planning and Initiatives Officer is quite fluid as it is a new role within a new team who aims to support the priorities of the faculty. So far this has included supporting planning activity (fees and target setting), exploring communication platforms, supporting teams to implement outputs from their continuous improvement work and looking at ways to improve the enrolment experience for our students.<\/p>\n

As a team we sit under faculty services and have strong links with the Planning and Initiatives teams in the other three faculties and SAS Directorate Office.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Josh Elliott,<\/strong> Planning and Initiatives Officer<\/p>\n

Overview of Role<\/strong>: I work full-time as a Planning & Initiatives Officer but am only based in HWB part-time as I also work in SBS. I feel that my role is quite an exciting one as I get to work across two faculties and support project and initiatives in both. This also allows for sharing of best practice across the different Planning & Initiatives teams to take place, as I have already been able to take ideas and ways of working from one faculty and implement it in another.\u00a0 My work in HWB so far has involved supporting key process such as fees (i.e. inputting, setting, reporting and queries), student number planning and management of curriculum data etc. I have also been supporting key faculty projects such as Highly Skilled Employment (HSE) and HWB Global Mobility Project.\u00a0 I am covering maternity leave on a fixed-term basis for Rachel Doole who is due to return mid-July.<\/p>\n

Hobbies<\/strong>: Swimming and cycling.<\/p>\n
