**Job summary**:
The Office for Students (OfS) is the independent regulator of higher education in England. We aim to ensure that every student, whatever their background, has a fulfilling experience of higher education that enriches their lives and careers.

These roles lie in the Access, Inclusion and Skills directorate (AIS) and we’re looking for skilled, committed people to develop and deliver project and policy work around our regulatory objective, ‘all students from all backgrounds, with the ability and potential to benefit from higher education, should be supported to access, succeed in and progress from higher education’.

With a new Director at our helm and new Government guidance in place, this is an exciting time to join the AIS. We are looking for people who want to use their skills to help drive forward changes in higher education providers by being able to contribute to the delivery of complex programmes of work and developing policy areas.

Although the primary regulatory function of AIS is to regulate Access and Participation Plans (APPs), we also have teams focussing on the skills agenda; equality, diversity and inclusion; funding and school outreach. Once appointed your initial assignment will be within one of these areas, but opportunities exist to develop by working on a variety of projects across AIS and the OfS.

**Job description**:
You will have your own designated work areas, taking responsibility for managing your own workload to deliver defined pieces of work whilst supporting more senior colleagues to deliver results. You’ll be involved in internal and external stakeholder management engagement, including liaison with higher education providers, key third sector organisations and colleagues across the OfS.
