We have an exciting opportunity for a qualified mental health professional to take an integral role in our objective to support staff mental health within the workplace.

We have recently been awarded the Student Minds Mental Health Charter award and launched our One University Mental Health Strategy and Action plan in February of this year. As a university, we seek to empower staff to manage their own mental health and wellbeing whilst also providing a route of dedicated support to staff where needed. The Staff Mental Health Adviser role is instrumental in helping us to achieve our objectives.

Primarily, the role will be to provide efficient and effective triage, coordination and support for staff mental health needs, utilising resources and expertise available from both within the University and specialist external organisations and support services. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the creation of an inclusive working environment and workplace culture, in which mental health is openly discussed and supported.

As an internal expert, you will provide guidance and advice to line managers and HR colleagues on the management of mental health needs.

This is an exciting time to join the University of Sheffield. Staff Wellbeing and Mental Health is a key priority of the One University Pillar of our University Vision and Strategic Plan.

- 41 days annual leave (including closure days and Bank Holidays), with the possibility to purchase up to ten additional days.
- Up to 5 days of paid time off to cover emergency caring responsibilities.
- A commitment to work life balance including, flexible working opportunities and hybrid working where possible.
- A highly competitive pension scheme.
- Discounts at participating shops and cinemas, and a cycle to work scheme.
- A commitment to your development, with programmes, learning modules and mentoring schemes.
- An inclusive and diverse workplace.
- A commitment to your wellbeing, with confidential emotional support, support for those going through the menopause, experiencing fertility treatment and having a baby, paid leave for IVF treatment and more.

You will be an integral member of the Staff Wellbeing Team that sits within the Organisational Development part of the Human Resources department. The team is responsible for the delivery of projects and services aimed at supporting all staff to thrive during their working lives at the University. Our work includes support for staff experiencing mental health challenges, creating inclusive working environments for disabled staff and a neuro-inclusive workplace, support for key life stages such as the menopause and for those with caring responsibilities, amongst many others.

We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University. We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
