Permanent

Are you passionate about building a more inclusive society? Information Systems Services is seeking to appoint a dynamic person to join our Digital Accessibility team to play a key role in supporting our staff to create accessible digital resources.

You will join a small team of digital accessibility assistants. The role will focus in particular on supporting teaching staff to manage captions, transcripts and other adjustments as we implement a new process providing enhanced support for students with severe hearing and visual impairments.

The team also provides training to academic departments, maintains guidance and support materials, and provides advice on a range of accessibility-related issues.

You should ideally have detailed and up-to-date knowledge of current legislation and how it’s applied in the HE sector. You will have experience of supporting staff and students and an understanding of how disabled people use digital materials.

As a team we are committed to the development of our people and you will be encouraged to learn new skills and technologies.

Lancaster University offers 25 days annual leave plus additional university closure days at Christmas and Easter, opportunities for continuing professional development, a flexible benefits package and a package of family-friendly work-life balance policies.

The role is based in the Information Systems Services Division at Lancaster’s Bailrigg campus. This is a campus-based role but you can currently benefit from Lancaster’s agile working policy.
