The post-holder will be a core member of the Mental Health Advice team, also delivering services to students by providing individual interventions and overseeing a caseload. This is a dual role combining Mental Health Trainer and Mental Health Advisor to ensure that the post holder has a working understanding of mental health need and support structures within the University to inform and give credibility to training content and delivery.

**Mental Health Training role (70%)**:
The post holder will be responsible for designing, delivering and evaluating mental health training for staff, and for students in welfare and leadership roles, and delivering existing, established training sessions. This is a maternity leave cover role, and much of the training content is already created. Training delivery is in-person, online, and via e-learning materials.

The post holder will provide advice to students to ensure that they obtain the appropriate treatment, support and, where applicable, the necessary reasonable adjustments. The post holder will undertake assessment of students’ fitness to study and support needs where there is a concern regarding their mental wellbeing, including fitness to participate in offsite activity such as field trips. The post-holder will initiate and lead or participate in multidisciplinary support meetings.

Mental Health Advisors also offer guidance to all members of University staff on the management of complex mental health need and risks.
