Hub Co-ordinator – Associate Programme; HUB Success

The HUB for SUCCESS (HfS) supports care experienced individuals to get in, stay in, and thrive in further and higher education. We are a partnership organisation, led by a small team with big values, driven to deliver services using co
-designed and trauma
-informed approaches. We put The Promise at the heart of everything we do, and champion the expertise that comes with lived experience. Our values and culture matter.

As part of our ongoing efforts, we are currently recruiting a fixed-term HUB Coordinator for 12 months, to support the Hub Associate Programme and lead our Associate programme, taking it into an exciting next phase – an award
-winning, co
-designed developmental employment programme for care experienced students from across our partner colleges and universities.

The HUB Coordinator role will provide you with an opportunity to work as part of a team of staff and student associates to take this project into its next phase. You will have the opportunity to work in partnership with prestigious educational establishments as well as care-experienced individuals, as part of an innovative programme which could ultimately change the landscape of educational opportunities for people in care.

While contributing to the strategic direction, you will also have the remit to shape and maintain the programmes and work streams you lead on - while ensuring that the people we are here to serve remain central to our aims. Part of this will also involve working with a small group of people who access the HfS support - ensuring you remain alert to the needs of those we are here to serve.

As HUB Coordinator, you will also have the opportunity work across other programmes and projects in collaboration with the team. You will be in an excellent position to use your experience in widening participation, third/charity sector, social work, social care, youth/community work, or the education sector, to support our care-experienced individuals to access and succeed in further and higher education.

As a small, agile and collaborative team, we support each other in the design, delivery, and evaluation of all our programmes and projects so if you have the skills and experience to succeed in this meaningful and rewarding role, then we would love to hear from you.
