Job description
We are proudly committed to ensuring fair access and widening participation in higher education. We recognise that not everyone has the same start in life or the same opportunities to succeed, and we aim to address this to ensure equality of opportunity for under-represented groups at all stages of the student lifecycle. Our Access and Participation Plan outlines our current strategy and we are excited to start writing the new phase of our approach to this vital area of work.
You will work in a small central team to support the Research & Evaluation Managers to provide evaluation capacity for the Access and Participation Plan Programme. This will involve qualitative and quantitative approaches, and you will work across mixed methods research designs, including data collection, data entry, processing, cleaning, and basic data analysis. You will also conduct desk-based research to support the evidence base for interventions.
Working as part of a team, you will work with APP delivery staff to provide up to date and accurate information, advice, and guidance to colleagues, managers, and staff at all levels, and students, on a range of Research & Evaluation services, procedures or policies related to APP Programme. This will include delivering training sessions and developing learning resources and document templates and bespoke documents for use across the APP Programme.
You will also provide wider administrative support to the team, including inbox management, database management, web page management, and providing support with meetings, committees, and event planning.
Please contact Robyn Long R.Long@sussex.ac.uk for informal enquiries.
