Summary of the role
Wellbeing Services has been established to provide a range of health promotion events on campus, as well as to develop illness prevention and intervention services. Our vision is to offer accessible and flexible support for the whole range of wellbeing issues that can impact upon student learning.

We currently seek to offer 140 initial triage appointments per week. Initial Triage Appointments provide space for a student to share their difficulties and create an action plan with a practitioner to move forward.

You will be skilled at identifying wellbeing needs, signposting accordingly, identifying and screening for risk and completing any necessary onward referrals, including liaison with other departments – both internal to Wellbeing Services, the wider University and External services. You will be an experienced practitioner within the wellbeing/welfare field who has a thoughtful and adaptable approach to your work, with a real interest in sensitively supporting students with potentially complex difficulties. You will have a passion for early-intervention and supporting the wider service Outreach work to encourage students to reach out for mental health and wellbeing support.
