If so, we would love to hear from you!
The Access & Participation Project Coordinator is a brand new, exciting role designed to support LSESU’s work around access and participation.
The successful candidate will play a lead role in identifying areas where there is a need/opportunity for targeted interventions to support the experiences of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, before putting then translating these into evidence-based proposals.
The Access & Participation Project Coordinator will be responsible for designing, implementing and delivering these programmes, as well as for reporting back on them and proactively seeking ways of driving continuous improvement.
The role will also oversee the delivery of the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Mentoring Scheme. This landmark programme, that was last year nominated at the National Diversity Awards, pairs students from ethnic minority backgrounds with LSE alumni, who provide the former with mentoring and support during their studies.
The successful person will be responsible for reviewing the programme and seeking to build upon its fledgling success to ensure it is bigger, better and more impactful than ever.
This role will also involve close working with stakeholders at LSE, especially those working on the delivery of LSE’s Access & Participation Plan (APP).
You would be joining a fantastic and friendly Advice Team, consisting of the Advice Caseworker and Advice Manager, that sits within the wider Student Voice Department, and which together oversees all of the Union’s advice, policy, democratic, campaigning and representation work.

Who are we looking for?
The successful applicant will be a creative problem solver who is passionate about issues of social justice and committed to improving the experience of those from marginalised backgrounds.
The role will require finding opportunities for supporting disadvantaged student groups and then designing, implementing and delivering projects and activities. As a result, we are looking for someone who is highly organised, confident, self-sufficient, and able to deliver at pace, managing multiple competing priorities with enthusiasm and a ‘can do’ attitude.
Project management, stakeholder management and communication skills (both verbal and written) are considered essential, as is the ability to undertake research, policy, and monitoring & evaluation work.
However, we believe that what you do is just as important as how you do it. We are a hardworking but friendly and welcoming team, and so are looking for someone a genuine team-player. You will be a kind, positive and supportive individual who looks out for their colleagues and isn’t afraid to muck in to help those in need.
We particularly welcome applications from candidates who self-identify as coming from a disadvantaged or marginalised background.
People with prior experience of working in a students’ union and/or with knowledge of access and participation issues within Higher Education are encouraged to apply, although such experience is not considered essential.
Sabbatical officers with relevant, transferrable skills are also encouraged to apply.
If any of this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
Why apply?
Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring and creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces.
Benefits and Perks
In return for your passion and experience we offer:
- 25 days of holiday per year (pro rata)
- Additional closure periods at Christmas and Easter
- Free LSE Students’ Union gym membership (including advice from dedicated professionals)

ABOUT GET FURTHER
One in three students leave school each year without a pass in GCSE English and maths - this rises to over one in two for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Without GCSEs in English and maths, these young people are significantly more likely to drop out of education and are locked out of key professions, apprenticeships, and university courses.

We believe that this benefits both disabled people and society more widely. We also work to support other organisations to do the same. Our work is very much influenced by the Social Model of Disability.
