Oxford, United Kingdom Hertford College (University of Oxford) Full time

**About us**

Hertford College (“the one with the bridge”) is a constituent college of The University of Oxford, and a registered charity. Hertford is one of the larger Oxford colleges, with roughly 700 students, two-thirds of whom are undergraduates. The main site lies in the heart of Oxford, occupied from the later thirteenth century by Hart Hall and, from 1740 until 1816, by the first Hertford College; and then, from 1822, by Magdalen Hall which was refounded in 1874 as the second Hertford College.

The Fellowship, which has responsibility for the governance of the college, currently consists of forty fellows, the majority of whom are involved in undergraduate teaching. In addition, thirty lecturers supplement teaching provision, and around 125 members of administrative and domestic staff coordinate and support key activities. Fellows, lecturers and students are drawn from a range of disciplines across the four Divisions (Humanities, Social Sciences, MPLS, and Medical Sciences). Academic and administrative offices are on the main site, as is accommodation for many students, complemented by further accommodation for both graduates and undergraduates at various other sites around Oxford.

The college has a reputation for being both progressive and friendly. It was one of the first originally all-male colleges to admit female students, and the ratio of female students to male remains comparatively high. For over 50 years, Hertford has championed access for students from backgrounds under-represented at Oxford, and this continues to be the focus of our outreach work.

**Main duties of the role**

The post-holder will be responsible for implementing the college’s current access and outreach strategy, with a focus on STEM programmes, by
- developing and maintaining links with schools and colleges in the college’s designated target regions (currently Essex, Southend-on-Sea, Medway, Camden and Peterborough), and elsewhere as appropriate;
- working with the Outreach Officer to develop Hertford’s education network for teachers and other education professionals in our link regions and the college’s alumni community;
- recruiting and helping to train STEM graduate students and other early career academics, who participate in the delivery of academic workshops;
- participating in regional HE fairs and other multi-institutional outreach events, and preparing and distributing outreach literature, and answering queries from individual students, schools and colleges;
- supporting Fellows’ outreach activity, and working with the Outreach Officer to keep records of all outreach activity collectively undertaken by Hertford;
- taking responsibility, jointly with the Outreach Officer and Communications Officer, for the outreach pages of the college website, and promoting the college and university via the web and social media, as appropriate;
- liaising and collaborating with other colleges, departments, internal outreach programmes, and external outreach organisations, to host and support events for students visiting Oxford;
- attending the termly meetings of the inter-collegiate Outreach Forum.

**Person Specification**

**Essential**
- Confident and fluent presentation skills, with the ability to engage and motivate an audience;
- Excellent interpersonal and written and oral communication skills, with the ability to deal confidently and appropriately with a wide range of people, including Fellows, college staff, students, teachers and parents, and external agencies;
- Ability to work independently, practically, and resourcefully as a member of a small team - this includes being willing to take ownership of their duties, and possessing the judgement to know how and when to take initiative, and when to refer to others;
- Strong time-management skills, and the ability to plan and manage their own workload;
- A flexible approach to work, with a co-operative and collaborative attitude and willingness to work irregular hours as the role requires (including evenings and weekends on occasion);
- Commitment to fair access and sympathy with the values, ethos, and objectives of a small, collegiate institution.

**Desirable**
- Experience of educational outreach work, either from the perspective of secondary or higher education;
- An understanding of the Oxford admissions process and requirements;
- Sensitivity to the particular needs of students from a diverse range of backgrounds.
