Disability Advisor

You will work proactively as part of the Student Services Wellbeing Team with a focus on providing a holistic approach to the wellbeing of our students and service, whilst ensuring excellent service delivery to enhance student engagement and contribute to the student experience. Duties will include: managing a caseload of students with a variety of complex needs including neurodivergent students, students with physical and sensory impairments and long term health and mental health conditions; establishing and maintaining case management systems and general administrative duties; keeping abreast of the Equality Act and relevant legislation. In addition, you will maintain links with academic institutes and faculties across the University and external agencies.

An enthusiastic, organised and highly motivated individual is required to meet the wellbeing needs of St Mary’s University students. The disability advisor will work collaboratively with students who share a disability to assess their individual support needs and produce an individualised Learning Support Plan, making recommendations of reasonable adjustments. This is to ensure that the University meets its legal requirement by putting in place appropriate support to remove any potential barriers to their education, ensuring equal opportunities to allow students to reach their full potential.
