Administrative Assistant Executive Support

We’re an award-winning charity that runs local learning centres in the heart of communities where the young people we support live. Our centres provide an innovative education programme which includes practical learning support and motivational and confidence-building activities for children and young people aged 7-18. Our aim is to inspire students from the least advantaged neighbourhoods to broaden their horizons and achieve their full potential.

As the UK’s leading university access organisation, our staff team is helping thousands of young people each year. From Spring 2024 we will have forty-three centres and extension projects across England and Scotland, and ambitious plans to scale-up our provision further over the coming years.

We are recruiting for a new role - an Assistant Head of Operations and Programme Delivery (Central Functions) - to join our team to add operational capacity at a crucial point in the charity’s evolution. You will work closely with the Senior Management Team and the Head of Operations and Programme Delivery (Central Functions) on key strategic projects and work streams to support the senior team to improve and strengthen operational effectiveness across the organisation. You will also play a key role in supporting with the training and CPD of our staff team, with implementing our quality framework and working on the setup and launch of our new centres.  

As a charity with social mobility as its core objective, IntoUniversity is wholly committed to equality of opportunity. We work with children and young people from a diverse range of backgrounds, and we believe that our staff team should be similarly diverse and representative.

The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be, and we recognise that we have much more to do in this regard. We are committed to building a culture where students, staff and volunteers are valued for the unique people they are. We therefore encourage applications from candidates from as wide a range as possible of ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds. In particular, we actively and warmly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, male candidates and candidates with a disability as they are currently under-represented within IntoUniversity.
