To provide guidance to students who may wish to raise their case formally, through University Complaints Procedures or referral to the Police.
To offer specialist advice and support to students experiencing a wide range of either pre-existing mental health difficulties that arise following an incident, this includes external liaison where needed.
To complete risk assessments for students following serious assaults or in abusive domestic violence settings.

Experience of risk assessment, risk management and of responding pro-actively to mental health emergencies

As a member of our team, you can expect a friendly, open and collaborative working environment and support in your development and wellbeing. You'll enjoy a range of great staff benefits including:
