This is a responsible position which offers the opportunity to be involved at the centre of the Undergraduate Admissions and Outreach department (UAO) in a busy and challenging environment. The Policy Adviser will provide first-class policy advice and support to the Director and Senior Leadership team of UAO. The UAO Policy team is made up of two Policy Advisers and one Administrative Assistant and owing to the central nature of UAO Policy, working across outreach and admissions, the role will work very closely with other UAO colleagues to progress work.
The postholder will be required to service UAO related committees in particular Admissions Executive Committee (AdEx) and Admissions Committee (AdCom), and their related working groups, by producing high quality and coherent policy papers and by representing UAO on these committees and groups when required. The postholder will also play a pivotal role in the organisation of work required to fulfil the annual reporting commitments to external bodies including the Office for Students (OfS).
The successful candidate will be an experienced individual able to work effectively with stakeholders across the collegiate University supporting policy development and implementation through clear communication, guidance and advice.
Whilst the role is a Grade 7 position, we would be willing to consider candidates with potential but less experience who are seeking a development opportunity, for which an initial appointment would be at Grade 6 (£28,098- £33,518 p.a.) with the responsibilities adjusted accordingly. This would be discussed with applicants at interview/appointment where appropriate.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Monday 10 September 2018. Interviews are anticipated to be held on Tuesday 25 September 2018.
