About ARU
ARU is a global university transforming lives through innovative, inclusive and entrepreneurial education and research. ARU holds a Gold award for the quality of its education, awarded through the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).
ARU’s research institutes and four faculties bridge scientific, technical and creative fields. We deliver impactful research which tackles pressing issues and makes a real difference to our communities. Our academic excellence has been recognised by the UK’s Higher Education funding bodies, with 16 of our research areas assessed as world leading. We are the largest provider of Nursing, Midwifery, Health and Social Care students in the East of England, and we are also among the UK’s leading universities for degree apprenticeship provision, working with hundreds of employers across the UK.
About The Role
We are seeking an Outreach Officer to join the Schools and Colleges Engagement team within the Corporate Marketing Directorate. This role supports the delivery of our Access and Participation Plan and Education Action Plan, with a focus on students who are care leavers or have care experience.
Working in partnership with the Essex Community Foundation, you will help develop and deliver face-to-face and virtual activities for primary, secondary, and Further Education students, both on and off campus. These progressive activities will aim to raise attainment and engagement.
A key aspect of the role involves identifying the barriers care-experienced students in East Anglia face in accessing education, with the goal of improving institutional support and informing best practices across the sector.
To succeed in this role, you should hold a degree and have experience working with diverse groups, from primary students to mature learners, and their parents, carers, and teachers. You’ll be knowledgeable about higher education pathways and passionate about supporting learners in their next steps. Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills, along with a talent for engaging groups, are essential.
The successful applicant will be based at our Chelmsford campus, with remote work options. Regular travel to schools, occasional campus travel, and some out-of-hours work are required.
Closing date: Tuesday 19 August 2025
