The Lancaster Success Programme (LSP) – delivered by the Student Success Team - is an award-winning, coaching-led initiative designed to empower students from underrepresented backgrounds. It encourages them to explore their unique definitions of success, while helping them make meaningful reflections and set purposeful goals to work toward achieving them.
Part of the Social Mobility and Student Success Department, the LSP is a key component of the whole lifecycle approach. We collaborate closely with the Widening Participation (WP) Team and the Evaluation and Impact Team to ensure our efforts are meaningful and align with the university's Access and Participation Plan.
The Student Success Team is looking for an enthusiastic and creative student to help improve our Mature Student and LSP webpages. You’ll have the opportunity to research, design, and implement changes that make our pages more engaging, informative, and user-friendly, ensuring they meet the needs of our students. If you’re passionate about making a positive impact and improving the online experience for others, this is a great opportunity to get involved!
We value an authentic student voice and are looking for a candidate who will bring fresh ideas, actively listen to the feedback of their peers and key stakeholders, and create engaging, user-friendly content that truly resonates with the intended audience.
