<div class="mds-edited-text mds-font-body-copy-bulk"><p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As the UK’s leading university access organisation, our staff team is helping thousands of young people each year. From Autumn 2022 we will have thirty-nine centres and extension projects across England and Scotland, with ambitious plans to scale-up our provision further over the coming years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Into</strong>University and the Royal National Children's SpringBoard Foundation are working in partnership to offer further life-transforming opportunities for IntoUniversity students to attend independent and state boarding schools on fully-funded bursaries.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are looking for a Boarding Schools Bursary Manager to join our team. The postholder will have responsibility for leading and developing the Boarding Schools Bursary programme in partnership with Royal SpringBoard and will be the principal point of contact for IntoUniversity centres, the bursary students and their families, the boarding schools and Royal SpringBoard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The successful candidate will quickly gain an understanding and knowledge of the <strong>Into</strong>University students recommended for bursary places and will develop relationships of trust with their families to ensure a smooth transition and integration into boarding school.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The support for the student will continue throughout their school career both during term-time and in the holidays and the postholder will maintain a close link with the host boarding schools to ensure that the pastoral needs of the students are met.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This postholder will play the lead role in ensuring the welfare of the boarding school students and will also support the charity’s broader safeguarding duties (full training will be provided).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As a charity with social mobility as its core objective, <strong>Into</strong>University 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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you believe that all young people deserve the chance to develop their talents regardless of their background and want to play a part in helping them succeed, then we would be delighted to hear from you.</p>
