Job Purpose:

At Ulster, we believe that higher education should be accessible to every young person to enable social and economic equality.  Ulster University outreach can be an engine not just for economic growth but for the social and economic progress of our most underrepresented communities, leading to a more inclusive, equitable and confident society.

The role involves significant understanding of Widening Access and the barriers in accessing HE. The role will have strategic responsibility for planning and organisation of a regional approach to WAP educational partnerships engagement, alongside internal/external stakeholder management.

The role involves integration and co-ordination across Ulster University’s teaching and learning portfolio of all faculties. Accordingly, the role requires significant project management of outreach, involving implementation and plan delivery of learning technologies, alongside financial and resource implications requiring the setting of medium and longer term operational plans.

Ulster University holds a Silver Athena SWAN award in recognition of our commitment to advancing gender equality in higher education, read more on our website https://www.ulster.ac.uk/peopleandculture/employee-benefits/equality-diversity/athena-swan.
