As part of our current Access & Participation agenda, a proactive and enthusiastic individual is required to work with potential students and those who influence them, in making a well-informed choice of post-18 study, including university, college and apprenticeships, through delivery of events, activities and new initiatives. The post will also include developing activities to support potential students’ parents and mature learners in making well-informed choices too.
This is a part time fixed term contract working 30 hours per week.
Under the direction of the University Centre Somerset (UCS) Registrar and UCS Outreach & Graduate Careers Officer, in conjunction with the NSSW County Team Leader, you will contribute to the delivery of a customer-focused, cost-effective and efficient collaborative outreach service. As a member of the extended NSSW team, you will be responsible for working within and collaborating with the partner institution’s existing outreach offer to maximise institutional contribution into the programme and ensure collaboration across the consortium.
The NSSW outreach project is part of the Uni Connect programme funded by the Office for Students (OfS), who aim to increase the progression of students from disadvantaged backgrounds into Higher Education across Devon, Cornwall and some areas of Somerset through collaboration between partner institutions and external organisations.
Please note in this role there will be a requirement to:
* Work weekends and evenings when specified which includes supporting events and activities
* Travel and work away from campus across wider areas of Somerset, which may mean being based at another college within UCS from time to time.
* Attend meetings and events at locations not easily accessible using public transport
UCS is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds and communities.
Please contact the UCS HE Registrar, Emma Lilley, for an informal discussion on 01823 366452, LILLEYE@btc.ac.uk
