DANCOP In-Reach Officer (Fixed term contract until July 2022 with possibility to extend for further 2 years)

This is a great opportunity for a dynamic, professional individual to join a forward-thinking college to develop and delivery widening participation activities, across a range of courses and across all disciplines, including A-Levels, adult and vocational curriculum at Levels 2 and 3.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This opportunity has arisen as part of the OfS (Office for Students) funded Uni Connect Programme and we now require an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join the DANCOP (Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Collaborative Outreach Programme) project team based at the College.

Uni Connect aims to identify and address issues around progression into Higher Education. In particular, it seeks to undertake outreach activity in specific local areas where HE participation is low overall and lower than expected given GCSE attainment levels.  

The In-Reach Officer role is to plan, co-ordinate and deliver workshops and sessions to encourage current level two, level three, access and adult students to progress onto Higher Education. You will be experienced in designing educational programmes of activity; ideally focussed around raising aspirations to Higher Education. You will be required to work closely with the central DANCOP team and college staff and partners to ensure targeted provision is relevant and successfully delivered, monitored and evaluated.

The role will require you to embed the college’s values; Respect, Integrity, Collaboration, High Expectations and Responsibility.
