Public Engagement Support Roles

To create this resource we collected job descriptions from across the sector and tried to distil a number of commonalities for four key roles: Public Engagement Coordinator, Public Engagement Evaluation Officer, Academic Public Engagement Champion, and Head of Public Engagement, Roles vary widely in this sector, so the job descriptions here are by no means exhaustive. The examples here have a particular ‘central team flavour’ and concentrate on advising on public engagement rather than doing public engagement. These examples are meant as a prompt and you may find you would want to make significant changes to them in your context, perhaps combining elements from the different examples, adding skills, knowledge and responsibility for doing public engagement or combining with research elements
