The Role

The student inclusion team at Kingston University is seeking a Student Inclusion Project Adviser to lead the development and delivery of initiatives and programmes to support student inclusion and equality. This includes the coordination of targeted programmes of work such as our Student Equality Collaborators programme and the award-winning Elevate programme.

You will act as the main point of contact for students participating in equality programmes, including coordinating work opportunities for the Equality Collaborators and KU Cares Connectors. You will project manage targeted programmes of work such as the Elevate programme, including supporting delivery and events as required.

You will contribute to the wider work of the student inclusion team for example through events, campaigns and communications activity.

The role is primarily based at our Penrhyn Road campus with some working from home considered, in line with current University policy and business need. Occasional work by rota on Saturdays is required to support student recruitment events (for which time off in lieu will be given).

The Person

You will be educated to first degree level or have an equivalent level of professional experience. You will be passionate about improving the experience and outcomes for underrepresented student groups, with particular knowledge of how widening participation and equality, diversity and inclusion agendas relate to students.

You will have excellent organisation and communication skills as well as the ability and confidence to present to varying types and sizes of audience. The role will require regular use of our online portal for student worker jobs and therefore strong IT skills are also essential.
