ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for an empathic, organised and intuitive wellbeing professional to join our student support team in the Department of Design Engineering. As a Student Wellbeing Adviser, you will provide wellbeing support and guidance to students. You will also be also proactively involved in wellbeing initiatives and awareness raising.
The role is part-time (2 days per week). The role requires 60% (or more) in-person work at our South Kensington campus, with the option to work the remainder from home. There are certain weeks of the year such as welcome week, exam weeks, and coursework deadline periods where in-person working on both days is required.

WHAT YOU WOULD BE DOING

As one of two part-time Student Wellbeing Advisers in the department, your primary work will be to provide direct one-to-one support for our undergraduate and postgraduate students. This might include conversations about mental health, studies, relationships, sexuality, finance, workload, family issues, neurodiversity, disability, accommodation, bereavement, trauma and other topics. The aim is to provide a safe, confidential, collaborative space for students to discuss whatever is on their mind. This might be a single conversation, short term support or more regular, ongoing check-ins depending on the situation.
The role also involves liaising with academic colleagues, signposting students to internal & external provisions, and running occasional group wellbeing initiatives. You will be a part of developing the wellbeing provision and supporting in upskilling academic staff around wellbeing and mental health issues.
