About the organisation

The Access Project is an education charity; we believe that every young person can make the most of education, unlocking their potential and creating a fairer society.

The programme combats educational inequality and improves social mobility by raising students' grades and supporting them to understand the pathway to a top university.

Students who receive support from our programme are more than twice as likely to attend top universities as statistically similar students, according to UCAS.

Why work at The Access Project
People who work at The Access Project are motivated by the desire to create a fairer society. We all play an active part in achieving the mission to help students from disadvantaged backgrounds access top universities.

We regularly have opportunities for people to share their ideas in various working groups, generating strong teamwork across the organisation.

In the last year we engaged with staff across our organisation and co-created an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion vision and strategic objectives.

Our work on this will develop throughout 2023 to ensure The Access Project can foster an equitable place to work.
