Are you passionate about supporting students and making a positive difference to their university experience? We are looking for a proactive and approachable Residences Officer to join our Student Services team, providing vital out-of-hours support to students living in University accommodation. Working as part of a dedicated residential support team, you will help create a safe, welcoming and inclusive community where students can thrive, while promoting positive behaviour, wellbeing and community standards.
This varied and rewarding role combines student support, safeguarding, welfare response and accommodation operations. You will be a key point of contact for students during evenings and overnight periods, responding to welfare concerns, undertaking wellbeing checks, managing incidents, supporting Student Wardens and working closely with colleagues across Student Services, Security, Estates and the Students' Union. The role requires sound judgement, resilience and excellent interpersonal skills, with opportunities to make a meaningful impact on students during some of the most important and challenging moments of their university journey.
