**About the role**:
We are looking for an empathic, organised and intuitive wellbeing professional to join our student support team in the Department of Aeronautics. The main part of your role will be to provide direct one-to-one support for our postgraduate and undergraduate students. The role also involves liaising with academic colleagues, signposting students to internal & external provisions, and running occasional group wellbeing initiatives. You will be a part of developing the wellbeing provision and supporting in upskilling academic staff around wellbeing and mental health issues.

**What you would be doing**:
You will provide:

- Wellbeing advice - you will listen, support and advise students on wellbeing issues they present with. The aim is to provide a safe, confidential, collaborative space for students to discuss whatever is on their mind. This might be a single conversation, short term support or more regular, ongoing check-ins depending on the situation. At times you will signpost students to internal/external services and liaise with appropriate staff as needed.

You will also:

- Run group wellbeing initiatives for students
- Liaise with colleagues regarding students who need extra academic support due to wellbeing issues
- Support necessary students to access Imperial’s Disability Advice Service, and ensuring their required adjustments are communicated to the education team
- Contribute to the department’s EDI committee
- Complete record keeping and administrative duties related to the role
- Use your own insight and initiative to develop the wellbeing provision

**What we are looking for**:

- You will have experience working with students in a further or higher education setting, or working with young adults in another relevant setting (such as a charity, healthcare, mental health, or a counselling/therapeutic setting).
- You will hold a relevant qualification.
- You will have experience of working within relevant professional protocols and policies, including safeguarding, data protection and confidentiality.
- Experience of providing counselling support to individuals and providing staff training would be considered an advantage, as would accreditation from a recognised professional body in the fields of mental health, wellbeing, counselling or psychotherapy (e.g. BACP, UKCP, HCPC, NCS, BABCP) although not essential.

**What we can offer you**:

- The opportunity to continue your career at a world-leading institution and be part of our mission to continue science for humanity
- Benefit from sector-leading salary and remuneration package (including 39 days off a year and generous pension schemes)
- Get access to a range of workplace benefits including a flexible working policy from day 1, generous family leave packages, on-site leisure facilities and a cycle-to-work scheme
- Interest-free season ticket loan schemes for travel
