Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time

**Muslim Student Adviser**:
**Salary: Grade 6 (£28,762 - £34,308 p.a. pro-rata depending on experience)**

**This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.**

**Can you use your listening, communication and interpersonal skills and your detailed understanding of Islam in its diverse forms to help the University provide a welcoming and supportive experience for Muslim students and staff from all over the world? Can you work collaboratively **as part of a multi-professional team** to provide faith-based support which contributes to the wellbeing and sense of belonging for our campus community?**

The Student Education Service is a passionate and ambitious University service that supports 38,000-plus students and 9,200-plus staff to deliver an exceptional student experience. Our teams are committed to supporting every student to make the most of their time at Leeds and go on to succeed in their chosen career. Teamwork is key to our success and we proactively seek to work collaboratively with others in the wider University community and externally. If you like the idea of being part of a community of 800 professional staff working across our beautiful campus then we would love to hear from you.

As part of the Student Education Service, you will work with our full-time Muslim Student Adviser, Student Support teams, Universities Chaplaincy and other colleagues to support an excellent experience for our Muslim students and contribute to promoting equality and diversity and an inclusive environment for all at the University. You will report to the Head of International Student Office, with responsibility to the University’s Head of Student Support.

Our Muslim Student Adviser will have significant experience of providing pastoral support, including supporting people with mental health difficulties and people in emotional distress. You will also have the skills and ability to nurture understanding of the Muslim faith and provide spiritual support to enable students to thrive during their time at university.

As well as being a great listener who enjoys working with people, you will have a profound respect for diversity and be able to demonstrate an understanding of, and empathy towards, the variety of needs and beliefs of a large and diverse community going through the highs and lows of their student journey. An in-depth understanding of Islam in its diverse forms is essential.

You will need to have worked in a similar role within a community or, preferably, university environment.

You should be willing to work flexibly in support of our students, which means that you should expect to work outside core hours, in the evenings and at weekends as necessary.

**What we offer in return**
- 26 days holiday plus 16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) - that’s 42 days a year
- Generous pension scheme options plus life assurance.
- Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
