Founded in 2011, HEPP is a collaborative partnership between the two universities working together to promote Higher Education opportunities across the Sheffield City Region.

Working closely with the two universities, you will provide strategic leadership for HEPP, through the development and delivery of a new strategy, to meet both the needs of the partnership and the wider Sheffield City region.
You will have substantial experience of delivering high quality Outreach and Widening Participation activity, ensuring work is appropriately targeted and evaluated. You will be comfortable maintaining and developing new relationships with key influencers and have experience of leading collaborative work, and managing diverse staff teams.

We welcome applications for job-share, part-time and flexible working arrangements.

Sheffield Hallam University is one of the UK's most progressive and innovative universities.

We pride ourselves on making a difference - to our students, our staff and to the businesses we work with. Our research and business ideas, alongside our sought after graduates, contribute to the economic and social development of both our region and to the UK as a whole.

Our teaching is first-rate and is supported by our world-class applied research. Our students are a diverse group and benefit from a tailored approach that helps them to get the most from their studies. We offer top quality teaching and learning facilities and the ability to learn flexibly in a way that best suits their needs. For example, we are one of the UK's leading universities in e-learning and offer a range of distance learning and part time courses as well as the more traditional full time courses.

Our industry partners choose Sheffield Hallam because of our flexible, business led approach and our high quality research, facilities and students. Our partners include Sony, BP, NHS, Network Rail, Cisco, SAP and Microsoft.

Our facilities are state-of-the-art and we have invested heavily in new technology to ensure that our technological capability matches the cutting-edge approach of our teaching. We are recognised as a Centre of Excellence for Teaching and Learning, e-learning and employability.

Sheffield Hallam plays a key role in the city and region in which it operates. We are located in both the heart of Sheffield and its leafy suburbs and our 30,000 students add to the vibrancy and diversity of the city.

In Sheffield's busy city centre is the University's City Campus, a welcoming modern environment with some of the finest learning and teaching facilities in Europe.

Around this hub revolves a flourishing, diverse academic community. Our second campus, only a couple of miles away, is a complete contrast. The tranquil Collegiate Campus is set among lawns and trees in one of Sheffield's leafiest suburbs - just as typical of this city, England's greenest, as the bustling city centre.

Home to two universities with more than 50,000 students, plus Europe's largest further education college and the headquarters of Learning Direct (UFI), Sheffield is very much a learning city. It's one of the country's most in-demand student destinations, and once they arrive students enjoy the Sheffield experience so much that a higher proportion stay on to live and work here than in any other city outside London.
