Details of Role: 

We’re an award-winning charity that runs local learning centres in the heart of communities where the young people we support live. Our centres provide an innovative education programme which includes practical learning support and motivational and confidence-building activities for children and young people aged 7-18. Our aim is to inspire students from the least advantaged neighbourhoods to broaden their horizons and achieve their full potential.

As the UK’s leading university access organisation, our staff team is helping thousands of young people each year. We will have thirty-nine centres and extension projects across England and Scotland, with ambitious plans to scale-up our provision further over the coming years. We are partnering with the University of Bristol to extend our Academic Support provision into Barton Hill.

We are looking for an individual who will thrive in a fast-paced, rewarding role helping to change the lives of young people by taking up a fixed-term role as a Project Worker (part-time) in our new IntoUniversity extension site in Bristol. You will work closely with our existing team, supporting the delivery and organisation of the IntoUniversity programme in the extension site and at our existing learning centre in Bristol East.

As a charity with social mobility as its core objective, IntoUniversity is wholly committed to equality of opportunity. We work with children and young people from a diverse range of backgrounds, and we believe that our staff team should be similarly diverse and representative.

The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be, and we recognise that we have much more to do in this regard. We are committed to building a culture where students, staff and volunteers are valued for the unique people they are. We therefore encourage applications from candidates from as wide a range as possible of ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds. In particular, we actively and warmly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, male candidates and candidates with a disability as they are currently under-represented within IntoUniversity.

If you believe that all young people deserve the chance to develop their talents regardless of their background and want to play a part in helping them succeed, then we would be delighted to hear from you.

How to Apply: 

Please apply via our online portal. You will be asked to:

1) Upload your covering letter: Please tell us why the position appeals to you, and how your skills and experience demonstrate your suitability for the role. (Not more than 600 words.)

2) Upload your current CV, which should include full education and employment history (including dates, with no gaps left unexplained).

3) Answer some short questions reflecting upon how you have demonstrated the IntoUniversity values of Talent, Quality, Compassion, Aspiration and Teamwork.

There is not an application deadline for this role and we will invite shortlisted applicants to interview on a rolling basis, so if you are interested then please apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Candidates will be assessed against the selection criteria listed in the job description.
