About The Access Project
In the UK today, students from the most advantaged backgrounds are six times more likely to make it to a top university compared to their least advantaged peers. To change this, The Access Project supports students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access top universities, through a unique combination of tuition and in-school mentoring. We work with them to make good applications, get the grades and transition to university.
Our approach works: our students are more than twice as likely to place at top universities compared to similar peers.
Through the COVID crisis, we have remained student-focussed and continued our support by rapidly moving all provision online. In summer 2020, we were selected as a Tuition Partner for the highly competitive National Tutoring Programme, in recognition of the quality of our work. This partnership has enabled us to expand and we now serve 1,700 students in London, the East and West Midlands and Bradford. As the country emerges from COVID, tackling educational disadvantage is an urgent social challenge - a challenge we aim to meet by expanding our footprint and reaching more students than ever before.
Why we need you
We are looking for an experienced communications professional to capitalise on our media profile and brand awareness as we expand into new regions. You will be finalising and embedding a new communications strategy while we prepare for our next phase of growth.
The pandemic has put the national conversation on higher education, inequality and social mobility into the spotlight. The Access Project has the insight, data and student stories to be prominent in this debate and has achieved a significant increase in national media coverage over the last year. Making the most of the charity’s growing profile will play a central part in attracting more volunteers and donors, raising awareness of the educational disadvantage and influencing change.
The successful candidate will be passionate about levelling the playing field for disadvantaged young people in education, with significant experience of communications strategy development. You will have a strong editorial eye and copywriting skills. You will build strong relationships with colleagues across the organisation and with journalists and ambassadors for our cause.
Some initial focus areas for the role will be:
- Work with the Partnerships Director and senior management team to finalise an integrated communications strategy. As part of this, identify key pieces of work to take forward and recommendations for the future structure of the communications team.
- Lead a review of TAP’s website, refreshing content and consulting across the organisation to produce recommendations for redesign and future maintenance of the website.
- Secure high profile press coverage for The Access Project around A Level results day in August and proactively spot and take advantage of other media opportunities as they arise.
- Look into the feasibility of TAP using high profile ambassadors to build its profile and how these would be managed, and research candidates.
- Line management of our Senior Communications Officer.
