Widening Participation and Social Mobility are recruiting for a fixed term Head of Access to join our growing team at the University of Southampton covering a maternity leave until February 2025. The Head of Access will be directly responsible for the strategic oversight of our outreach and transition activity which ensures that students have equality of access to the University.

Building on the work already in place you will be working closely with the Director and Associate Director of Widening Participation and Social Mobility to develop our provision in line with new guidance from the Office for Students which will focus on attainment raising and the embedding of evaluation throughout. The ideal candidate will have experience of leading activity in a higher education institution, with an in-depth knowledge of Widening Participation policy. You will be an experienced leader who is able to develop strong relationships both within the university and externally with schools and colleges to create initiatives which mitigate risks to equality of opportunity across the country. You will be a strategic, creative thinker, able to create innovative projects which have students at the heart and be confident working to co-design activity with both university students and students before they arrive.
