Summary

Information System Services (ISS) is seeking a talented Digital Accessibility Assistant to join our Digital Adoption team.

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a real difference to the experience of students at Lancaster? We are seeking someone with an interest in digital accessibility and assistive technology to support staff and students, as well as colleagues delivering IT services across the University. This fixed-term role is available until July 2027 to provide cover for a secondment within the team.

Working within the Digital Adoption team, you will collaborate with digital skills developers, accessibility specialists and learning technologists to support training and accessibility initiatives across the University. You will help improve the accessibility of digital services and online resources, act as the first point of contact for the team, respond to enquiries and manage the day-to-day operation of the University's advanced captioning service.

Due to the customer-focused nature of the role and the need to work closely with colleagues, regular on-campus working is required. You will have strong administrative, organisational and IT skills, excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and a good understanding of creating accessible content, including documents and videos. Experience in a customer-facing support role would be advantageous.
