AccessHE Uni Connect Programmes and Partnerships Officer
About the role
AccessHE, a key division of London Higher, wishes to appoint a full-time Uni Connect Programmes and Partnerships Officer on a fixed-term basis. The post holder will coordinate programmes of HE-led outreach with partner schools in north east London and also scope opportunities for new projects that help to raise attainment in schools. This work will require extensive engagement with schools and with AccessHE members.
The successful candidate will have considerable autonomy to develop new attainment raising initiatives and therefore the role would be particularly well suited to someone with experience of managing education projects who is looking to gain experience in a more strategic post. Prior experience in a widening access role is not essential; we are looking first and foremost for someone with a proven commitment to social justice and an interest in higher education.
This role may be either office-based or remote depending on the postholder’s preference. However, some travel to AccessHE’s partner schools in Barking & Dagenham and Havering as well as attendance at in-person engagement meetings across London is expected.
About you
If you feel your skills and experience match the below, we would love to hear from you:
- High self-motivated and delivery-focussed, with an ability to get things done.
- A consensus-builder who is persuasive and confident in communicating with external stakeholders.
- Excellent organisational and planning skills, comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously.
- Experience of working with multiple stakeholders, especially schools, students, universities, and local authorities.
- Experience of planning and delivering outreach activity or educational events.
- Experience of building effective partnerships, evidenced through delivery of joint projects or equivalent.
