OxFizz is a social enterprise that exists to bridge gaps in the UK’s education system, ensuring all students have fair access to top universities.

We know that even when they achieve the same grades as their peers, disadvantaged students are less likely to win places at top universities like Oxford and Cambridge. We exist to level this playing field – running a free programme of support to help the most disadvantaged students build the knowledge, skills and confidence to make successful applications to competitive universities.

We achieve this on a cross-subsidy, partnership model, working across the education sector. Where families and schools are fortunate enough to be able to pay for our services, we charge a fee. This work allows us to generate income, and crucially expertise, to make the same services available free of charge on our Access programme. We deliver this programme in partnership with some of the sector’s leading Access organisations, such as The Access Project, Villiers Park, IntoUniversity and Target Oxbridge. 

Volunteering is a fundamental part of this social mission. All our student support is delivered by a network of 150 volunteers. These volunteers are recent graduates, from Oxford, Cambridge and other top universities. We recruit, train and support our volunteers to deliver workshops, tutorials, and 1-1 practice admissions interviews with our students. This support largely takes place at weekend events in London and the South East, and at our Oxford-based summer school.

Our Volunteering Coordiantor role is a varied one and combines:

• Co-ordination of the volunteer recruitment and training process; 
• Strategic thinking about our volunteering offer; 
• Day-to-day management of volunteer communications and engagement;
• Event planning and delivery; 
• An active role as the external face of OxFizz to critical stakeholder groups.

You will plan for and deliver the recruitment of volunteers to support the delivery of our educational services. You will ensure each stage of the volunteer journey is smooth – from initial enquiries and sign ups, to induction and training, being matched with their first students, to delivering support at events, to reviewing and celebrating their success. You will motivate and mobilise volunteers to give their time to support our students.

The qualities that we are looking for are: 

• Passionate about university access for students from disadvantaged backgrounds; 
• Well-organised; 
• Strong inter-personal skills; 
• Takes responsibility for own work; 
• Data-informed. 

This role will require an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check.
