As the UK’s leading university access organisation, our staff are transforming the fortunes of thousands of young people each year. We have thirty-one centres and extension projects across the country, with ambitious plans to scale-up our provision further over the coming years.
We are looking for a high-calibre candidate to take up a 12-month fixed-term role as Leeds Project Leader. You will have responsibility for delivering our Leeds Extension and National Collaborative Outreach Programme (NCOP) projects. NCOP is a joint initiative across universities, colleges and third sector organisations to provide a programme of activities and support for students in Year 9 and above at schools and colleges in areas where progression to Higher Education is lower than expected. The Leeds Extension Project delivers the core IntoUniversity programmes to a wider student base from our Leeds East and Leeds South centres.
You will manage your team, planning and delivering the programme, liaising with external stakeholders (including our university partners) and meeting IntoUniversity’s targets for delivery. A substantial element of this role is delivering our education programme to children and young people aged 7-18, so you will need to have a genuine passion and enthusiasm for working with young people, including leading a class of 30 from the front, working with small teams of children and providing one-to-one support.
The role will be fast-paced and challenging. Each day you will be contributing directly to the success of the charity and the transformation of the lives of some of the UK’s most disadvantaged young people. If you believe that all young people deserve the chance to achieve their potential regardless of their background and want to play a part in helping them succeed then we would be delighted to hear from you.
We’re an award-winning charity that runs local learning centres which provide an education programme addressing underachievement and soci... Read more
