Student Partnerships Manager

About us

We’re at an interesting point in our history here at UCL. We’ve expanded rapidly, and our new strategic planning process is focussed on building on achievements and opportunities from growth while also addressing some of the challenges.

The UCL Strategic Plan 2022-2027 outlines a vision for a ‘futures focussed’ UCL education that is ambitious and distinctive. One of the aims is to bring together teaching, assessment and employability to support student futures. To that end, the new ‘UCL Higher Education Development & Support Institute’ (HEDS) has been established.

About the role

In this job you’ll be part of the Student Partnerships Team, which sits within the Development & Planning team in the HEDS Institute. It’s an exciting and varied role where you’ll manage the operational delivery of key UCL student partnership initiatives, most notably the ChangeMakers programme. You’ll provide comprehensive programme management support for these activities, including financial management, robust data collection, evaluation and dissemination.

You’ll ensure a quality student experience through the development of inclusive practices, and work with other team members to maintain UCL’s position as a leader in sector for student partnerships, promoting partnership working inside and outside of UCL. You’ll also support the Head of Student Partnerships in the design and rollout of further partnership initiatives.

A full list of responsibilities can be found on the attached job description.
