Description

Role

Unitemps are recruiting for two Content Developer (AC018 ELEP Fellow) roles. This is a part-time role at 4 hours per week. This role is for a December 9th start date and has a projected end date of May 30th 2025. Payment is set at £14.48 + holiday pay per hour. This role will be UCL home based working. This role is suitable for current UCL Students only.
 
In 2021, UCL issued a formal public apology for its history and legacy of eugenics. The Eugenics Legacy Education Project (ELEP) was one outcome of UCL’s eugenics inquiry report’s recommendations. We have been working to support UCL staff and students embed visibility and awareness of UCL’s history of eugenics in teaching and learning activities.  
 
The ELEP team are creating an online toolkit to support people who want to teach about the UCL eugenics legacy and other difficult and/or sensitive topics. The toolkit will be multi-modal and contain resources including policies, training videos, and case studies.

Duties and responsibilities

The fellow will have two main tasks:

1. Quality assurance. To review the content (from a student’s perspective) in terms of accessibility and relevance.

2. Learning technologist. To assist the ELEP team with turning resources into fully accessible online Drupal web content.

We aim to recruit one or two fellows to support our small team for the final year of the project, with most of the work taking place in the Spring Term. This will be around four hours work per week during term time. This can be worked flexibly around your other commitments.

In December and January, there will be some structured activities to help you connect with the ELEP team, involve you as a partner in our work, and to help develop your knowledge, skills, and experience necessary for the role. Most work will be remote, but with some face-to-face activities mainly on Tuesdays at the Bloomsbury Campus (40 Bernard Street).

The work will start with a focus on the structure and look of our webpages and reviewing content as it is being produced. This will gradually overlap with adapting and editing Word/PowerPoint/audio-visual content and uploading to Drupal.  

We expect most of the content to be online by Easter (April), so any work in the Summer Term will be focused on consolidating content, gathering analytics, and developing resources for our dissemination events.

Skills and experience

Essential criteria:

  • Be a current (academic year 2024/25) UCL student (at any level).
  • Experience of editing websites (using content management systems such as Drupal) and/or online resources.
  • An understanding of accessibility requirements when designing online resources.
  • Excellent attention to detail.
  • Good time management.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • A commitment to undertaking training and development as needed.  

We are looking for fellows who have an interest in:

  • Developing creative, accessible, and inclusive resources for teaching and learning.
  • The role of education in just student futures.

We are interested in working with you if you have experienced barriers or injustices related to eugenics ideology, whether related to the history of eugenics or ongoing legacies. This is not an essential criterion, but it important for us in our work as outlined in UCL's apology in acknowledging how “the legacies and consequences of eugenics still cause direct harm through the racism, antisemitism, ableism and other harmful stereotyping that they feed.”
