Summary
Job Description
We’re here to support students on a whole range of issues, free from judgement. Over the past four years we have successfully advertised our service and its reach and impact within the institution; this means we have seen an increase in our case load, and we’re looking at the next stage of our development to ensure our great service continues to grow.
We have traditionally specialized in academic and housing advice, but we also offer guidance on just about everything that may affect
a student while they are on their university journey. If we are not best placed to advise, we will endeavor to find the people who can
as we know how important it is for students to be supported.
Crucial to this will be ensuring our high-quality service is delivered in a way that is accessible to all students and allows for flexible
ways to access advice. We also need to build on our impactful outreach work to provide opportunities for students to understand
their rights and be able to stand up for themselves when it comes to the challenges that they face during university life and beyond.
