The role’s primary objective is to initiate, develop and support the involvement of Cambridge SU in the Academic Rep Scheme.

In addition the role will also; be the lead staff member for our access projects and activities, working closely with the Access, Education & Participation Officers (UG & PG) to deliver these; develop and maintain an online directory of the training opportunities available to students from Cambridge SU and work with the rest of the Membership Engagement Team.

The role will be a key development role, responsible for setting up the systems, processes and initial training content to support student reps. The role will initially be responsible for providing a package of training and guidance for student representation and delivering that to a range of reps, and it is then expected that the role develops into an overall coordination role of our education and access work.

Deadline to apply: Thursday 23rd, 5pm
Interview date: Monday 3rd August

We welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from those from Black, Asian and an ethnic minority backgrounds, as they are under-represented within Cambridge SU in some areas.

Redbridge Equalities and Community Council is a well-established and hard-working equalities organisation with its roots in community relations and race equality work, based in Ilford, and working mainly in the London Borough of Redbridge.

We are looking for someone with relevant skills and experience to take forward our work on hate crime and community engagement and cohesion. On hate crime, they will be able to build on RECC’s pioneering community-based approach, working with our Community Witness and Support Team and supporting hate crime victims both individually and through mutual support groups. Much of the recent focus of our community engagement work has been through the Redbridge Equalities Forum, and they will have the opportunity to steer its development into a post-Covid world. And on community cohesion they will have a key part to play in the development of a proposed major new initiative in two of Redbridge’s most deprived and divided areas.

This is a challenging agenda, the more so for a part time worker, and their highest priority initially will be to work with the Trustees to find the funding needed to enable the post both to become fulltime and to continue beyond March.
