There is a high autonomy culture within the team and organisation, so the role requires someone who is well organised, pro-active and can use their initiative to do what works. The team is small with ambitious targets, so the Officer will need to be flexible and think strategically, at times beyond their role, as the team often work collectively to get the best results. The Officer will need experience in project management and relationship management, implementing programmes and have a confident and inclusive communication style. The successful candidates will work across a varied range of activities so will need to adapt quickly to the demands of the programme and our participants.

About The Access Project.

We support students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access and successfully transition to 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 volunteers are trained and supported to be effective tutors who work with our students for an hour a week to raise their grades. In addition, a dedicated school-based staff member mentors the students so they have the knowledge and support to make strong university applications. Our results show this approach works.

About the role.

The Access Project (TAP) is an evidence-based, data driven intervention. Central to our programme are the ways in which we use data to ensure each of our students receives the provision they need, to learn about how we can improve our delivery and to evaluate our impact on our students’ attainment and university prospects. We have developed sophisticated monitoring and evaluation systems bringing together data from a variety of sources to track students’ progress (impact management) as well as ascertain their outcomes (impact evaluation). We collect data on our students’ academic and socio-demographic background, their participation on TAP’s programme and progress on our bespoke university readiness scales, and their academic results and university destinations. We use this data to intervene in real-time when delivery goes off-course but also to understand how TAP activities affect student outcomes and to re-design the programme year-on-year to ensure that it is as impactful as possible for our students.

As part of the Impact Team, the Head of Programme Quality will ensure the quality of TAP’s core programme design and delivery. They will make sure that TAP’s delivery model can achieve its intended outcomes, that programme design is consultative and evidence-based and that the programme team – from frontline staff to management – have all the resources, training, data and systems they need to successfully deliver and improve the programme. As a senior manager, the Head of Programme Quality will lead planning processes, manage people and budgets, and represent TAP externally with senior stakeholders.

Senior Project Officer

The Royal Osteoporosis Society is the only UK-wide organisation dedicated to finding a cure for osteoporosis and improving the lives of everyone affected by it. We help the nation look after its bones and appreciate the importance of bone health for everybody.

More than three million people in the UK affected by osteoporosis. But unlike other common, chronic conditions, osteoporosis has a low-profile. Only around one in four adults are aware of what the condition means, and it has been discussed significantly less over the last five years than most other chronic conditions.

Reporting to the Research Manager this exciting role will primarily support them and the Director of Clinical Services, in delivering the Osteoporosis and Bone Research Academy (The Academy) work programme. You will also support and liaise closely with the Professional Education Lead and Training and Education Manager to deliver on agreed projects and reviews of existing resource, in addition to supporting projects across the Clinical Team.

We’re looking for someone who can work with great agility, as the areas of focus for the Academy may change in response to organisational needs, so you will be required to work flexibility in order to meet these changing needs.

Our offices are based outside Bath, but we have a very flexible approach and this post can be based remotely, although we would expect a weekly visit to the office in normal circumstances.

To apply, applicants should provide a comprehensive CV, including details of relevant experience and achievements. This should be supplemented by a supporting statement in a cover letter, demonstrating how your skills and experience meet the person specification.

If you are looking to join a fantastic organisation and team where you can really make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
