Such

It is not often that you get such an opportunity.

What is the grammatical form and function of "such" ?

Does it mean type or kind in the context?

It seems like an adjective to me as describing the opportunity.

It is not often that you get such an opportunity . Such is an adjective function as a predeterminer (modifier) in the underlined noun phrase. It can be roughly paraphrased as 'of this/that kind'.
