Many thanks. --------------------------------------------- NATIONAL CO-ORDINATOR £28,155 - £29,967 (FIXED TERM TO END DECEMBER 2002) The National Disability Team (NDT) is seeking to recruit to support its work in higher education development. Specifically there has been an extension of responsibilities to include a variety employability projects running under the DfEE Innovations Fund, 2000-2002. Many of these projects are not related to disability but have an emphasis on e-based resources. The Innovations programme contributes to the development of a curriculum and learning environment that prepares students for the world of work in the 21st century and enhances the opportunity for appropriate learning within work. The NDT works on behalf of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and the Department for Higher and Further Education Training and Employment (DHFETE) for Northern Ireland. The NDT currently manages and co-ordinates projects to enhance disability provision in fifty higher education institutions in England and Northern Ireland. Projects are funded under the 1999-2000 to 2000-2002 programme, Improving provision for disabled students. You must be capable of playing a significant role in the team, working closely with the Director and Principal Co-ordinator to provide: · Direct support to staff in funded projects and advice to senior managers in higher education and other organisations · Input to systems that record, monitor and review progress across the funding programmes · Dissemination of programme outcomes across the whole higher education sector and beyond · Development of NDT web-based resources The NDT is based at Coventry University; however, you must be prepared to travel on a national basis. Fractional, job-share or short-term appointments will be sympathetically considered - especially since candidates may come from backgrounds that are particularly appropriate to only one of the funding programmes or may be specialists in website development. If you have significant experience and demonstrable understanding of some of the following: · Employability or careers development, especially of e-based resources · Developing of web-based resources · Managing project work in higher education or other contexts · Staff and institutional development · Disability in higher education, including current developments And if you are interested in working with a national team, please contact the Personnel Department on 024 7688 8120, minicom 024 7688 8100, email <mailto:[log in to unmask]> for further details and an application form, quoting reference no.
