Introduction to YSJ University


Situated in the heart of the historic city of York, and with the addition of our London Campus, York St John University has a long and proud tradition as a distinguished higher education provider.


Our success is founded on the quality of academic teaching and research, our thriving campus environments, our professional and pastoral support, and our values of an inclusive, innovative and ambitious community with a strong sense of belonging.


The Team


Based within Student Success & Employability, the Specialist Support & Funding Advice team offers support and funding advice to a wide and diverse group of applicants and students, throughout the entirety of their student journey.

This support is designed to help them overcome any barriers to success and support their effective transition into meaningful graduate outcomes.


The Role


Reporting to the Specialist Support & Funding Advice Manager, you will play a lead role in offering support and specialist information, advice and guidance to student from under represented groups within higher education.

Using different approaches, you will work to build a sense of belonging for students, and seek to lessen the disadvantages students can experience, aiding retention and success.


You will be working with collaboratively with colleagues across the department and wider University to develop, deliver and evaluate a pro-active programme of support services and activities for students and graduates that support the student journey and students' development of our Graduate Attributes.


Required Skills and Experience


You will have experience of providing impartial information and advice, and working with individuals on a one on one basis, maintaining a supportive relationship.

You will have strong administration skills with an emphasis on producing communications across a variety of media. Experience of data handling and interpretation of results is also important to support the evaluation aspects of the role.


You should also have experience of designing and delivering innovative support processes that not only engage students but also have a genuine impact on their student journey and overall outcomes.


Knowledge and understanding of the higher education sector and the issues affecting different student groups, with a particular knowledge of widening participation, equality and social inclusion, are key to the success of this role, as is a passion for widening participation and student support.

  • Excellent annual leave entitlement, including five discretionary university closure days over the Christmas period
  • Pension scheme
  • Health Cash Plan after six months service
