University of Bradford
At the University of Bradford, our focus is on creating the conditions for social, cultural, and economic impact. We are committed to social inclusion. Our work to expand opportunity and enable students to reach their potential, has led to us topping the Social Mobility Index of English universities for the last five years.
Directorate
We require a confident and responsible individual to champion and ensure the success of the Office for Students (OfS) funded Go Higher West Yorkshire Uni Connect project in the University of Bradford.
The Uni Connect outreach programme aims to reduce the gap between the most and least represented groups in terms of progression to Higher Education.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will work with colleagues from within the University of Bradford and across the Go Higher West Yorkshire partnership to ensure the successful delivery of the project. This will include working within the university to arrange and manage events and activities to raise attainment and aspirations, and – most importantly – support the application and transition of pupils into Higher Education. These events may take place at the University of Bradford, at a partner institution, at schools/colleges or in community locations across West Yorkshire and involve young people aged 13 to 19 and their key influencers (parents, carers, and community, teachers, advisors or other professionals). You will also work within the University of Bradford to support signposting of schools/colleges to existing outreach activity.
You will help ensure the effective involvement of key stakeholders in the project and work within the wider team to set, progress and meet Programme targets and objectives. You will bring your knowledge and experience of working with key influencers and in communities and of higher education, to develop innovative and effective activity to help meet project targets. There will be the requirement to attend Go Higher West Yorkshire meetings as necessary as representative of your institution, and to support the work of the central Go Higher West Yorkshire Uni Connect team.
