The role

The Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages is seeking to appointment an Access and outreach Office for a 12 month Fixed Term to cover a Secondment.

The Access and Outreach Officer works with the Director of Access and Outreach and colleagues across the collegiate University to coordinate and manage access and outreach activities in line with the Faculty's strategic goals.

The post-holder will liaise closely with the Faculty's Director of Access and Outreach and the University's Undergraduate Admissions and Outreach team, but will need to work independently to manage their workload.

They will be responsible for achieving key targets/goals set by the Faculty's strategy, in partnership with the Access and Outreach Committee, and will be asked to produce regular reports on outreach activities and to identify ways of demonstrating impact of the work.

About you

You will have experience of student-facing academic administration, ideally within the University of Oxford or another higher education environment. You will bring excellent written and oral communication skills, meticulous attention to detail and the ability to produce accurate, high-quality work with limited supervision.

You will be highly organised, able to manage a busy and varied workload, prioritise competing demands and meet deadlines. You will work confidently with students, academics, administrative colleagues and external visitors, showing initiative while also knowing when to seek guidance. Discretion, tact and sound judgement in handling sensitive and confidential information are essential, as is the ability to work collaboratively in a small team and across a matrix organisation.

You will be fluent in Microsoft Office, with well-developed Excel skills for working with data, and able to learn new IT systems quickly. Experience of working with policies and regulations, servicing formal committees, managing web content or a virtual learning environment such as Canvas, or supporting student recruitment, access or outreach would be desirable.
