Training Officer (Student Equality, Diversity and Inclusion)

The University of Bath is looking for a skilled and people-centered trainer to deliver a student-focused training programme focused around inclusive culture.  

About the role

Your work will be varied, challenging and involve delivering training to, and collaborating with, our fantastic students. 

You will lead on developing and delivering in-person, online and e-training packages on topics including consent, allyship, being an active bystander, equality and diversity. You will evaluate and monitor the engagement with and impact of the training on our diverse student body and university community. Your role will form a core component of the University's anti-harassment initiative, #NeverOK.

You'll be part of a small, supportive team but will have opportunities to work with colleagues across the university, liaising with academic departments and working in partnership with the Culture and Inclusion Team, Students' Union and wider Student Support and Safeguarding Department.

About you

You will:

• be able to demonstrate a track record of developing and delivering impactful training, with successful outcomes for diverse audiences
• have a good understanding of equality and diversity issues, and inclusive practice and how to apply this in your work
• understand the importance of evaluation to monitor the effectiveness of your training and be comfortable analysing data and writing reports
• need to be organised, self-motivated and able to balance the needs of multiple stakeholders in the development and delivery of training
• enjoy working collaboratively with a range of stakeholders, as well as be excited by the idea of collaborating with our students, and contributing to a safe and more inclusive student experience for our community

Although not essential, previous experience:

• of delivering training relating to subjects such as safeguarding, equality, diversity and inclusion or sexual health/education will be advantageous
• in developing e-learning packages, or using e-learning creation platforms, will also be an advantage

You will need to be able to quickly and confidently learn new software packages and platforms, and be excited and enthusiastic about developing skills in this area.
