A shared goal

My favourite part about working for Activate Learning is the people. We are a large organisation, spanning across three counties, which encourages lots of collaborative working and sharing of ideas from a diverse range of students and staff. I find it really inspiring that we’ve all come together with the same aims and goals to help our students get the best out of their education. We are continually learning and growing together.

My career is engaging, rewarding, and ever-evolving

As my role is largely extra-curricular based, it changes with contemporary topics and it’s really helpful to have a lot of different opinions so what we are doing for students is always topical, relevant and engaging.

Part of what I like so much about working here is that I have the freedom to organise and implement ideas and initiatives that have great benefit to impact our students. Whether that’s being engaged in our Learner Voice programme, being a member of our Student Union, or helping with events such as Mental Health Awareness Week; I know that these kinds of opportunities have been proven to really aid students’ learning and development. Outside of their studies, the kind of activities my team puts on help students develop their soft skills and make friends too, so that’s really rewarding.

We invest in, and value, everyone

Our Learning Philosophy runs through the heart of the organisation, and through everything that we do together and with our students. Working in a place that truly values the emotional needs of everyone, and understands the impact that feeling unchallenged or demotivated can have is refreshing. We continually strive to support every member of our community across Activate Learning, be they staff members, students, or other stakeholders.
