Collaborative Outreach Project Officer

This is an exciting opportunity to join the University of Bedfordshire's Collaborative Projects Team working on the Office for Students' (OfS) funded Uni Connect Programme and additionally supporting our Widening Access objectives. This post is a job share and will manage the day to day delivery of our outreach programmes and maintaining relationships with our target schools.
The post-holder will work with colleagues across the University, schools and colleges and partner institutions within Uni Connect.
We are looking for an individual with experience of working in widening participation or outreach-related roles.
The team offers a range of programmes that support people from under-represented groups and promotes the progression to higher education.

The University is committed to equality of opportunity and values the diversity of all its workforce and student population.

At the University of Bedfordshire, inclusivity is a key University value, and we are committed to creating an environment in which we celebrate and value the diversity of our staff and student community and provide fair opportunity and outcomes for all.

We recognise that diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent and benefit from opportunities that the diversity of talent and thought creates.

We therefore, particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in the University of Bedfordshire's workforce. These include people from Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority backgrounds (particularly in roles in grades 7 and above), disabled people; LGBTQ+ people; and women in some senior grades."
