Living and working independently is a vital step towards integration and reintegration for survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking. Survivors should have access to opportunities to develop the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to achieve their goals, but this is often not the case.
St Mary’s University is setting up an innovative project to develop and run (in summer 2020) a ‘proof of concept’ Summer School for survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking. The Summer School will provide an intensive learning opportunity on a broad range of topics to survivors of modern slavery in a friendly, supportive and high-quality educational environment.
We are currently recruiting an experienced and passionate Project Officer to lead this project and create a successful model that can be used in the future to increase educational opportunities for survivors of modern slavery.
Working closely with partner organisations and the Centre for the Study of Modern Slavery at St Mary’s University, the Project Officer will be responsible for planning, designing and implementing the summer school. The Project Officer’s work will be overseen by the Centre’s Director, and the individual will have direct access to the Centre’s networks.

Company
Established in 1850 and with a deep heritage in education, St Mary’s University, Twickenham has a strong reputation for teaching excellence and a student-centred approach.
St Mary’s University is a modern, friendly and welcoming university situated in the leafy borough of Richmond upon Thames and a short train journey away from the hustle and bustle of central London. St Mary’s is on an exciting journey of transformation and growth, to benefit students, staff and the wider St Mary’s community. As the University builds on its proud heritage, it is looking for exceptional people to help shape its progressive future. Our current strategy, Vision 2025, is focused on people and place, with the aim of creating a positive learning environment centred on our campus.
We are a strong and welcoming community of students and staff and are committed to the highest standards in teaching across our wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. In 2019, we were again awarded Outstanding status by Ofsted and in the 2018 National Student Survey, St Mary’s ranked first in London for Teaching Excellence and Student Experience, contributing to our jump of 56 places in the NSS league table.
We have also seen our second successive significant rise in the Sunday Times Good University Guide. Our rise of 39 places since 2017 positions us as 12th in London and 77th nationality. Other significant league table changes include a rise of 25 places in the 2019 Guardian University Guide league table, to 80th in the UK, and 17 places in the Complete University Guide as a notable climber.
In addition, we have a vibrant culture and environment.
Our core values; inclusiveness, generosity of spirit, respect and excellence underpin all we do as a University and we are actively working to embed these into our daily behaviours. We want to create the best possible conditions for our students and staff to develop into independent problem solvers and ethical leaders, enthusiastic about knowledge and learning, and able to get things done.
You will find further information on the web pages about our University. If you are excited by the opportunity to join St Mary’s and help us to realise our ambitious plans, then we look forward to hearing from you.
