Are you passionate about building a more inclusive society? Are you highly motivated and a self-starter?

Information Systems Services is seeking to appoint an IT Trainer and Support Advisor (Assistive Technologies) with expert knowledge and extensive, proven experience in supporting users with assistive software and technologies.

You will join our small team of digital accessibility assistants dedicated to supporting our academic and support staff to create accessible digital content primarily for teaching and learning. You will design and provide regular training in accessible content creation and use of auditing tools such as Ally, maintain guidance and support materials, provide advice on a range of accessibility-related issues including support for ISS developers and procurement of new software.

You will specialise in providing advice for staff and students using assistive software and be a strong advocate for our disabled community through membership of campus and other networks.

We are committed to the development of our people, and you will be encouraged to take professional development opportunities to enhance your knowledge and skills.

Lancaster University offers 25 days annual leave in addition to statutory bank holidays and additional University closure days at Christmas and Easter. There are opportunities for continuing professional development, a flexible benefits package as well as family-friendly, work-life balance policies.

The role is based in the Information Systems Services Division at Lancaster's Bailrigg campus. It's a campus-based role but you can currently benefit from Lancaster's agile working policy.

The post is offered on a full-time basis but the role could be considered as part time or a job share for suitable candidates.
