WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL AS A RESIDENTIAL WARDEN AT ACTIVATE LEARNING?

We are looking for friendly, student-centred colleagues to join our Residential Accommodation Team our Harcourt Hill site at Oxford Brookes.
Supporting our residential students with pastoral support to create a safe and welcoming community, you’ll safeguard students from 16-19 alongside a team of other wardens. As well as just ensuring their safety, you’ll also support and delivery social enrichment activities, like pool tournaments, films or wellbeing talks.
The post predominantly works an out of hours shift pattern as part of an on-call rota in-conjunction with the rest of the team. You’ll be working on a 4 days on, 2 days off pattern, with any weekends on an “as required” basis depending on the rugby fixtures. The warden on duty will cover 2 days from 15:00 until 9:30 the next day, supporting with enrichment activities in the evening and sleeping on-site to support with any safeguarding concerns overnight. The following 2 days as the backup warden you’ll cover 17:00-midnight, with an 8:30 finish the next day before your 2 days off rota. Please call us to discuss the rota in more detail as there maybe some flexibility that can be accommodated.
