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.
