Outreach Manager

The Outreach Manager is responsible for ensuring that we deliver on our strategic objective of improving student experiences and influencing change in the higher education sector by organising a range of outreach activities.

These outreach activities include managing a small team to deliver in-person and remote training and awareness sessions with higher education providers and student representatives. The postholder will have to play an active role in the preparation and delivery of these sessions and must be comfortable with public speaking and facilitating audience discussions. This will involve occasional travel to higher education providers in England and Wales.

Knowledge and understanding of the higher education sector, and the OIA's position in the sector, would be beneficial.

The postholder must be comfortable analysing complex information from different sources and producing recommendations for action and tailoring this for different audiences.

Please take a look at the Job Description for full details of the post and person specification.

All successful candidates will start at the salary point shown (pay award pending); this is non-negotiable.

We anticipate holding interviews week commencing 28 April 2025. These will be in-person interviews at our Reading office.

At the OIA we use Applied for our recruitment. Applied aims to overcome unconscious bias in recruiting. Instead of using your CV alone, we'll be asking you to answer questions to test skills needed for the role. The responses are then anonymised, and reviewed in a random order by members of our team.

If you need any adjustments to the process because of a disability please contact the recruitment team.
