Role

This role is being offered as a casual student work opportunity until 31st July 2026, with the North East Uni Connect programme (NEUCP) and North East Raising Aspiration Partnership (NERAP). The NEUCP, funded by the Office for Students’ (OfS), aims to support young people from underrepresented groups in making informed choices about higher education options and minimising barriers to progression, including academic attainment. This involves all colleges and universities in the North East region working together to deliver a sustained and progressive programme of support.

NERAP is a collaboration of the five universities in the North East of England, working together to support young people to think about their futures and how higher education can help them reach their goals. Our Choices Together Programme supports care-experienced young people in Years 7-13 to discover and experience higher education through on-campus and online activities.

NEUCP/NERAP is looking for an enthusiastic individual for 4 hours every week to assist with the publishing, planning and creation of a range of digital and online content through social media and other digital platforms.
