This is a key role in the successful delivery of the Civic Action Scheme within the University of South Wales, working within the wider Careers & Employability Service.

The Civic Action Scheme is being piloted for 12 months at the University of South Wales and the University of Wales Trinity St David. The Scheme will encourage students at both institutions to consider careers in “civically-minded” roles in, for example, the third sector, the arts and culture industry, or the environmental sector by encouraging them to take volunteering roles with these organisations.

As community engagement activities, student volunteering schemes, and collaborations with external organisations, have been detrimentally affected by Covid-19, the Civic Action Scheme will allow both institutions to reconnect with civic and community organisations in the South Wales region, while developing new connections through the new strategic partnership.

By providing current students with experience of working with civic and cultural organisations and the third sector, the Civic Action Scheme will provide economic support for this sector by creating new jobs and voluntary opportunities. It will also allow us to retain a cohort of skilled workers in Wales which will also contribute to Wales’ economic recovery. Given the impact of COVID-19 on Welsh communities the scheme would place an emphasis on regeneration, would allow us to identify where support is needed, and explore how future engagement with our communities can be undertaken in digital environments.

Initially working remotely due to public health requirements, this position is based at the Pontypridd campus of the University of South Wales.

This is a full time, fixed term post (x2) for a period of 12 months.

For an informal conversation about this post please contact Louise Bright / Matthew.Evans.

If you are a successful candidate and this position will be your first professional services role at the University (or you are currently employed by PSS Ltd), you will be employed by Professional and Support Services Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of South Wales, which provides services to the University and Colleges. If you are an internal professional services candidate, you will be continue to be employed by the University of South Wales.
