The OU has an Access Centre at Milton Keynes. This is a specialist unit
which helps disabled students determine their additional educational support
needs and to obtain grants called Disabled Students’ Allowances to pay for
them. We have a vacancy for a manager to run the Access Centre.
The OU Access Centre has been open for four years and has proved a major
success. We need someone dynamic, well organised and with proven management,
team leader and motivational skills to build on this success, further
develop the Business Plan and ensure a high quality service.
You must have a thorough and extensive understanding of assistive
technology, considerable experience of carrying out DSA needs assessments
for disabled students and experience of training disabled students to use IT
and assistive technology. A proven ability to manage and motivate a small
team working flexibly in a busy environment is also essential. Excellent
communication skills, an ability to plan and organise the work of others and
a strong background in budget/financial management are also essential.
Applications from suitably experienced disabled people are particularly
welcome.
