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 autumn 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

The Access Project has a growing number of partnerships with a number of universities built on shared strategic aims: universities’ desire to make their institutions more accessible to students from different socioeconomic backgrounds, and The Access Project’s commitment to helping bright students from disadvantaged backgrounds secure places at top universities. We want to work with more universities to deliver activity with young people in their target geographies, opening up opportunities for funding and broader support from universities.

This is a proactive role that will require the creation of new opportunities and ways of working. It will suit a self-starter with an entrepreneurial attitude who enjoys establishing new relationships.

• Work with the Partnerships Director and Communications team to create materials, both on and offline, that will reach and attract university widening participation audiences.

Account management and stewardship

• Work effectively across The Access Project to pool knowledge and connections to universities, consulting relevant stakeholders on decisions about funding and volunteering opportunities.
