The University of Derby require an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join the DANCOP (Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Collaborative Outreach Programme) team as part of the Office for Students (OfS) funded National Collaborative Outreach Programme (NCOP).
NCOP aims to identify and address issues around progression into Higher Education. In particular, it seeks to undertake outreach activity in specific local areas where HE participation is low overall and lower than expected given GCSE attainment levels.
The Project Officer role is to co-ordinate the effective operational development and delivery of projects and activities that support the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Collaborative Outreach Programme (DANCOP), as directed by the Lead Project Officer and the senior management team.
You will be experienced in designing educational programmes of activity for young people; ideally focussed around raising aspirations to Higher Education. You will be required to work closely with delivery hub colleagues to ensure targeted provision is relevant and successfully delivered, monitored and evaluated.
The role also requires the Project Officer to liaise with third party providers of activity, and other DANCOP stakeholders.
The successful candidate will have the following skills –
- Creative approach to problem solving
- Adaptable and flexible attitude to work
- Ability to work well in a team environment and independently
- Excellent communication skills and an ability to interact with a wide range of people.
