About the vacancy:
The College of Health, Science and Society UWE has secured external funding from NHS England, formerly Higher Education England (HEE), to work in collaboration with other universities, further education colleges and practice partners across the southwest of England to embed inclusive training within practice for healthcare students and international staff.
This project will implement the recommendations generated from a recent HEE funded regional project in the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire system with several key partners. This includes outcomes of regional findings concerned with inclusivity.
The role of the Inclusive Practice Project Manager will be to coordinate this exiting project, taking ownership of the full project life cycle and ensuring successful project delivery; working closely with and influencing relevant stakeholders, including other universities, further education colleges and practice partners across the southwest of England.
About you:
The role will require the applicant to be self-motivated, work independently and manage their own workload. Success in leading and implementing programmes of change would be vital alongside the ability to promote the project internally and externally. The successful candidate will have knowledge and experience of anti-racist practices as well as the health and higher education sectors.
