**About the vacancy**: The University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) is committed to supporting its students and providing an inclusive campus approach to service delivery. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of our newly established 24/7 Student Support team working together to provide an out of hour’s advice and support service to students. The team provide an initial response to vulnerable students and supporting concerned families, students, and staff. As part of the inclusive campus approach, you will work closely with colleagues in Accommodation Services, Security and Operations, Duty Managers, and external agencies such as the emergency services, mental health support and charities.

A key part of the team’s work is to assess risk and work with the student, family, or colleagues to enable risk to be lowered. The team link in closely to others working during the day and are supported by standard operating processes (SOPs). Foundational to this role is the ability to listen, assess and reassure service users before initiating/coordinating an effective response, ie. that which reduces or removes the vulnerability of our students in terms of academic failure, withdrawal, distress, or personal harm. The team will adopt a coaching approach to build resilience within the student community, ensuring students are fully engaged in their own solutions.

It is a fixed term role for a period of 2 years.

Although you will be based at Frenchay, as need arises you will need to visit Glenside or the City Campuses.

**About you**: You combine knowledge and understanding of best practice in risk assessment, triage, and customer care. You adopt a collaborative way of working with a coaching approach to connect into the resourcefulness and expertise of Professional Services, Academic Teams and NHS partners.

Energetic and resilient, you enjoy working at pace and are comfortable with complexity and uncertainty. You have excellent communication and influencing skills and establish credibility quickly with staff at all levels. You are passionate about higher education and can inspire your colleagues individually and collectively to deliver the best possible support for students.

To be successful in the role you will need:

- To respond appropriately to vulnerable students, liaising with colleagues across the campus.
- To deal with potentially challenging or distressing situations handling them sensitively and calmly.
- To assess risk and determine the correct course of action, following university policies and guidance.
- To have good IT skills and be able to make accurate and effective use of computerised office systems.
- Be flexible to adjust shifts with reasonable notice to attend training during the daytime
