Crynodeb
Social Mobility and Student Success (within the division of External Relations) is looking for an enthusiastic individual with a passion for working with young people to join the team to encourage social mobility and address educational inequality. Widening Participation works with young people from across England to promote university and ensure that students make an informed decision about their future choices.
The role
The Widening Participation Officer will manage and deliver programmes which support young people who are underrepresented at Lancaster University. The role holder will be responsible for delivering the Role Model Ambassador Programme, working with British South Asian Communities and Islamic Faith schools, and the Uncover Progress programme, working with Black Heritage students in the Southeast. These bespoke programmes involve initiatives such as campus visits, residentials, mentoring sessions and online workshops, which the role holder will be responsible to deliver. In addition, the role holder will manage a team of student mentors and role model ambassadors to develop content and resources for the programmes.
This is a full time (1FTE), secondment opportunity until July 2026. Applicants must seek line management approval prior to submission. The capability and flexibility to work some weekends and evenings is an essential element of the role, along with a willingness to travel across the North West and occasionally further afield within the UK.
We are located in a beautiful part of North West England with great facilities and a warm, welcoming community. We offer an occupational pension scheme, a generous annual leave allowance, excellent training and development opportunities, flexible benefits and an employee assistance programme.
