Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.

Are you a highly organised, creative problem solver who is passionate about improving the experience of students from disadvantaged backgrounds?
 

Do you have strong project and stakeholder management skills, and exceptional verbal and written communication capabilities?
 

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.
 

Given the breadth of work undertaken within the department, expect there to be plenty of opportunities to grow, develop and pick up new skills outside of the main responsibilities of the role.
 
 

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)

• Part 1: Supporting Statement  is all about you telling us about your suitability for the role and will be used to determine if you are shortlisted for interview. Please keep this one page maximum and do not include any personal information, e.g. name or date of birth. Please use the attached job description and person specification to help with this.  
• Part 2: Equal Opportunities Monitoring and Contact Form is personal information – so we can contact you if you are shortlisted for the interview. It also helps us gather and analyse demographic information about our applicants. This part will only be seen by HR and will not have any impact on shortlisting.
• Part 3: CV  - Please attach your completed CV outlining the jobs or voluntary roles you have had.

To apply for this role, please complete an online application.

This process allows us to ensure that the shortlisting is done in a fair and consistent manner and all applicants are given the same opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. For further information regarding the role, please see attached the full job description and person specification.

Compulsory Requirement - The UK Government sets the legal regulations that we are required to follow. As an employer we must ensure that everyone is eligible to work in the UK and this is done by us checking and making a copy of the correct original identification/documentation before your first day of work. Currently we require you to have the right to work in the UK, as we are not a Home Office approved sponsor. 

Please note that interviews are planned for the  8th & 9th August 2024. If you are unable to attend these dates, please note this in your application. 

Are you passionate about delivering change?
Are you interested in empowering the voice of students, particularly those from marginalised backgrounds?
Do you want to be involved in the delivery of a democratic system so innovative that it is the source of an international academic study?
 

If so, this might just be the role for you!
 

Armed with a bold and exciting new strategy that is seeking to make LSESU the definitive, reliable and credible advocate for students, this role is central to the forward-thinking work that will be taking place at LSE over the coming months and years.
 

With highly engaged students who are passionate about making change, you could be involved in some of the most exciting work in the sector.
 

This role sits within the Representation Team and so you will also be heavily involved in the planning, delivery and evaluation of key work across the team, including our biannual student elections, sector-leading Student Panels, and many other cross-organisational research projects, events, and activities.
 

Given the breadth of work undertaken within the team, expect there to be plenty of opportunities to grow, develop and pick up new skills outside of the main responsibilities of the role.
 

You would be joining a fantastic and friendly team of three other Student Voice Coordinators (SVCs). All SVCs have similar Job Descriptions (JDs), but the focus of each SVC will be different i.e. our policy-focussed SVC would be most involved with the Policy subsection of the JD, whereas this democracy & governance-focused role would be most involved with the Democracy & Governance subsection of the JD. However, we expect all our SVCs to pivot between different areas as needed. 
 

Who are we looking for?
 

The successful applicant will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, and take a creative approach to problem solving. Above all the role is varied and dynamic, so we’re looking for someone who is able to juggle multiple priorities with positivity and enthusiasm, who has strong planning and organisational skills, meticulous attention to detail, and who relishes the opportunity to be challenged and to find innovative ways to take on new endeavours.
 

You’ll also be a genuine team-player, someone who looks out for their colleagues, supports them when they need help and who throws themselves into the larger cross-team and cross-organisational activities as they come up.
 

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
