Race Equality Charter Project Manager

The University of Cambridge is one of the largest and most prestigious universities in the world, with more than 12,500 employees. We are committed to providing a positive working, learning and social environment, with an inclusive culture that promotes equality of opportunity and values diversity, in which everyone can thrive and do their best work. We recognise, however, that we still have much to do to ensure equality of opportunity for all.

Two project posts (Athena Swan and Race Equality) and a Data Analyst post will join the University’s specialist ED&I team, which sits in the Human Resources Division. The team is responsible for designing and delivering an ambitious programme of institutional and cultural change at the University. The team is forward-looking and committed to creating effective equality solutions.

The Project Manager will work with the Head of ED&I and the University’s leadership, alongside academic and other professional services colleagues, taking the lead in drafting the Institutional renewal application for the Race Equality award to continue our forward momentum on delivering sector leading best policy and practice in gender and race quality at the University.

The role-holder will write the institutional application for the University’s institutional application for the University’s Bronze Race Equality Award renewal.

The post holder will manage and consult on the application drafting and devise and consult on the required action plans, bringing together critical friends and stakeholders as necessary. The successful candidates will have an up-to-date knowledge and understanding of the Charter Mark requirements and experience in data analysis, and action planning to translate the analysis this into equality initiatives and practice. They will also have significant experience arguing a case and preparing formal reports that present ED& solutions to a diverse and independently minded community. An ability to understand sensitivities related to the ED&I agenda and devise ways to increase engagement is also a key requirement.

Appointment to the role is from February/March 2023.

The role is full time and involves hybrid working with some in-person working in the ED&I Team office space required. Applications for flexible working for either post will be considered.

Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a basic disclosure (criminal records check) check and a security check.

We particularly welcome applications from candidates who self-identify as Black and Asian Minority Ethnic who are currently under-represented in the HR Division.
