Birmingham, United Kingdom Aston University Full time

Student Welfare at Aston University has been undergoing an exciting period of growth across key teams within the directorate, with bold and innovative thinking to enhance the student experience as well as a data-informed approach at the heart of all that we do. Our vision is to enhance our inclusive, caring and supportive community to enable our students manage any issues that affect their ability to study and develop a better student experience.

The Mental Health & Wellbeing team is an important and essential part of this offer and comprises of expert mental health and wellbeing staff, providing a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space in which our students can discuss and seek support for any issues that may be affecting their ability to study.

You will work alongside other Mental Health Specialists with support from Mental Health and Wellbeing Advisors and in partnership with colleagues from the broader Student Welfare directorate which includes the Counselling service, Disability & Academic Support team, Chaplaincy, Residential Experience & Support, and the Student Support team. You will work collaboratively with other colleagues across Student Welfare as well as the wider University.

Alongside initial contact and screening services, you will be expected to work with a designated caseload of students and deliver evidence-based interventions in 1:1 and group settings. The service also provides support to students in crisis which will involve you liaising with external statutory bodies as needed. Aston University Mental Health and Wellbeing services do not provide statutory mental health services and as such, we are complimentary to existing NHS and social care support.

A satisfactory enhanced DBS check is required for this role.
