Closing Date 31-Dec-2021

 

Wellcome Connecting Science has a new opportunity for an Education and Learning Officer to join our team.

You will play a key role in co-ordinating and delivering the education programme, supporting involvement of staff and students from the world leading Wellcome Sanger Institute and European Bioinformatics Institute.

The Engagement and Society programme is part of Wellcome Connecting Science and the role benefits from cross-working with a range of companion teams with diverse expertise. The Education and Learning team strives to place inclusion, equality and social justice at the centre of our work.

About The Role

You will work closely with the Education and Learning Manager to identify, develop and sustain relationships with schools and community learning groups, with particular focus on target geographical areas hallmarked by high pupil premium, indices of deprivation and/or lower social mobility.

The role’s primary focus is the building of relationships with our target schools and the day to day delivery of education experiences off-Campus that connect Campus staff with learning groups, particularly secondary students, but also extending to primary and informal learning groups. The role will also provide support for the onsite experiences. You will be required to develop curriculum-relevant resources and activities based on fundamental genomics science and the latest knowledge arising from Campus research. There will also be a focus on developing resources to highlight the diverse range of careers in the genomics field.

You will also play an important role in capturing and monitoring data from education and learning activities, helping to build evidence of outcomes aligned to our overarching evaluation framework.

As a significant proportion of the role will involve engagement with formal learners, it will be advantageous to maintain contemporary knowledge and robust cross referencing with the UK education curricula. The role also benefits from regular cross-working with other members of the PE team, Connecting Science and wider Campus – particularly around pervasive themes of equity, diversity, and evaluation.

Given the range of activities this role will contribute to, there will be an expectation for occasional evening or weekend working, which will be offset through our approach to flexible working and TOIL policy.

About Wellcome Connecting Science Public Engagement

Public Engagement is part of the wider Engagement and Society programme. We support the sharing and discussion of the pioneering science that takes place on the Campus. We do this through a range of live and digital experiences, working with collaborators across research, education and culture. Our aim is to share ideas with diverse audiences and foster a community of engaged researchers.
