Warden

Christ Church is seeking to appoint a Warden to support the Junior Censor, Welfare Manager, and the wider welfare Team in promoting the welfare of Christ Church students and maintaining a positive academic and social environment for all.

This position will involve helping students to understand and resolve problems, managing minor discipline matters directly when relevant and reporting more serious misdemeanours and referring to senior staff when appropriate. This fixed-term post is an excellent opportunity for a graduate student to develop experience of pastoral responsibility in a Higher Education setting and play a fulfilling role in a friendly college. The Warden will act as a ‘friendly face’ for students by being accessible and a welcoming presence at events, and by maintaining good relations with the JCR and GCR, and act as a channel for communication between senior members of the community and students, including through service as member of the College Welfare Forum (CWF).

The Warden will be a matriculated graduate student at the University of Oxford in 2024/2025, with at least one further year of study remaining. Proven ability to work effectively and constructively, both independently and as part of a team is essential. 

This post is offered on a Fixed-Term basis from Michaelmas Term until end of 10^th week of Trinity Term, with the potential for contract renewal for 2026 – 2027. The pro rata salary is £5,443.20 per annum (current rates) (University Grade 4, NSP 16).

Further particulars, including instructions on how to apply, may be downloaded from https://www.chch.ox.ac.uk/vacancies. The deadline for applications is Monday 31 March 2025 at noon.

Entry into employment with Christ Church and progression within employment will be determined only by personal merit and the application of criteria which are related to the duties of each particular post and the relevant salary structure. In all cases, ability to perform the job will be the primary consideration. No applicant or member of staff shall be discriminated against because of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
