The role of Dignity & Respect Liaison & Resolution Officer holds a lead responsibility for managing key aspects of Dignity & Respect and Student Casework issues that involve student safeguarding.
About the role
The landscape of safeguarding in education has undergone significant changes in recent years, responding to emerging challenges and evolving needs. Safeguarding now encompasses a broad range of issues, especially in higher education, such as preventing sexual harassment, hate crimes, and promoting better mental health.
As students’ experiences become more diverse, this role will seek to create and enhance our environment at the university where both students and staff feel safe and supported and to address inclusivity, discrimination, and the unique challenges within a higher education setting.

About you
We’re looking for excellent interpersonal skills, including the ability to build trust, show empathy, and manage complex and challenging situations with sensitivity. You should have solid experience in helping people resolve conflicts, understand different perspectives, and improve relationships and behaviour through learning and growth.
A good understanding of issues in higher education, equality and diversity, and resolution-based approaches is essential. Experience with trauma-informed investigations would be an advantage.
Qualifications or training in mental health, trauma-informed practices, sexual misconduct, or suicide prevention are helpful but not essential, as training can be provided.
