Student Welfare Officers

Wolfson College wishes to appoint up to three Student Welfare Officers to join our Welfare Team. Posts are expected to be available from September 2024 and are fixed-term for a period of 12 months in the first instance.

The Welfare Team at Wolfson College currently comprises the Senior Tutor & Dean of Welfare, Academic Registrar, Student Support and Engagement Officer, College Nurse, and four Student Welfare Officers. There are also a team of student peer supporter volunteers. A number of our valued Student Welfare Officers will be moving on, and so we are looking for suitable candidates to replace them and to continue offering excellent welfare and wellbeing support to our student community.

The role of our Student Welfare Officers is to represent the interests of all students in welfare-related matters, organise student welfare activities and wellbeing events, and to be a point of contact for all students providing listening and signposting services. Ideal candidates will have experience of dealing effectively and responsibly with students or young people, and have excellent inter-personal, communication, and listening skills.

To further strengthen the Welfare Team and our ability to offer support to our diverse community, we welcome and encourage applications from candidates of all cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and personal circumstances.

For further particulars and information how to apply please read the Further Particulars of the post.

Closing date: 22 July 2024 (noon)Interview date: w/c 12 August 2024
