An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Support and Wellbeing Service, part of the Student and Campus Life Division, as a Support and Wellbeing Manager, linking closely with students in the Faculty of Engineering.
This is a challenging role, managing as small team of staff who provide frontline wellbeing support to students as part of a wider wellbeing network. This role will primarily be based on the University Park, and some cross-campus work may be required.
Students can be referred into the Support and Wellbeing team via academic or support staff or may choose to seek support themselves and self-refer. Our support can be accessed in a variety of ways with students being advised via face-to-face appointments, video calls, telephone appointments, or by email.
An important part or the role will be leading a team who advise students with difficult or challenging wellbeing circumstances, supporting them to follow the relevant university policies and processes and access specialist wellbeing services. You will provide some direct wellbeing support to students, however the main elements of the role will be team management, working with colleagues across the University and building networks with other staff within the Faculty of Engineering.

You will be highly motivated, organised, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, demonstrating sound judgment under pressure. We welcome applications from people committed to delivering a high quality, professional service to our students and academics, and have a pro-active and flexible attitude to work.
We welcome applications from everyone and value the varied perspectives and experiences that a diverse team can bring. We are particularly keen to receive applications from people who are currently underrepresented in wellbeing support in the UK, such as racially minoritized backgrounds.
This position is offered on a permanent, full time basis. Hours are full-time (36.25 hrs per week) which will usually involve a minimum of 4 days per week on campus with one day a week home working. Job share arrangements may be considered.
