Location:

Salary:

£47,389 to £56,535 per annum

Grade:

Grade 09

Contract Type:

Permanent

Basis:

Full Time

Closing Date:

23.59 hours BST on Sunday 20 September 2026

Interview Date:

Wednesday 07 October 2026

Reference:

1245-26

Release Date:

Monday 17 August 2026

Aston University’s 2030 strategy is Inclusive, Entrepreneurial and Transformational. We are building a new model of university for a changing world, delivering measurable impact for our students, staff, partners and communities.

Within this vision, the Student Life Directorate plays a central role in assisting students from transition through to successful completion, providing expert guidance on engagement, wellbeing and student success.

We are seeking a Head of Mental Health and Wellbeing to join Aston University’s Student Life Directorate.

The postholder will lead the refresh, refocusing and development of an integrated Mental Health and Wellbeing service across counselling, mental health advice and chaplaincy. This is a key strategic priority: the role will be expected to create a clearer, more proactive, evidence-led and student-centred service model that brings the three areas together through shared pathways, stronger governance, prevention, risk oversight, service standards and measurable impact. Within that wider integrated model, the postholder will also lead the development of a dedicated Domestic and Sexual Violence Advice branch, ensuring that Aston has trauma-informed, institutionally robust pathways for students affected by domestic abuse, sexual violence, harassment and related safeguarding concerns. The successful candidate will therefore combine strong service redesign capability with safeguarding expertise, multidisciplinary leadership and the ability to translate complex student need into coherent, high-quality provision.

Key Responsibilities and Priorities

Refresh, refocus and develop an integrated Mental Health and Wellbeing service across counselling, mental health advice and chaplaincy
Coherent development of the three core areas so that counselling, mental health advice and chaplaincy operate as connected, complementary and student-centred provision
Proactive and preventative provision beyond appointments and counselling
Leadership of safeguarding practice and development of a dedicated Domestic and Sexual Violence Advice branch within the Mental Health and Wellbeing service
Complex risk, safeguarding and defensible practice
Service utilisation, KPI oversight and evidence-led improvement
OfS E6 assurance, sector developments and Mental Health Charter readiness

About You

You have significant leadership experience in mental health, counselling, wellbeing, chaplaincy, safeguarding, welfare, domestic and sexual violence support or related services.
You can redesign, refresh and deliver integrated service models that bring counselling, mental health advice and chaplaincy together through clear pathways, shared standards, prevention, responsiveness, governance and measurable outcomes.
You bring a strong understanding of safeguarding, trauma-informed support, domestic abuse, sexual violence, harassment and sexual misconduct, and can translate this into safe pathways, partnership working, training, governance and assurance.
You understand how to use service data, utilisation trends and student feedback to improve provision.
You can lead assurance activity linked to OfS E6, student safety, training, reporting routes and continuous improvement.
You will hold a relevant professional qualification or equivalent substantial professional experience in wellbeing, mental health, counselling, social work, safeguarding, nursing, psychology or a related discipline, alongside evidence of management and leadership development relevant to a senior role.
You will bring senior experience of leading wellbeing, welfare, safeguarding, mental health or related support services in Higher Education or a comparable complex environment, including complex risk, service integration, multidisciplinary leadership and partnership working.
You will be able to lead the phased development of a specialist Domestic and Sexual Violence Advice branch, working with internal and external partners to establish clear boundaries, referral routes, case oversight, reporting, prevention activity and evaluation.
Experience of student support services in Higher Education, senior committee assurance, institutional policy development, commissioning, partnership management or external service liaison would be advantageous.

What we offer:

Aston University is a dynamic and vibrant campus located within Birmingham city centre, which has excellent transport links via bus or train.
Excellent training and development opportunities.
A generous annual leave scheme with 30 days bookable leave and a further 13 days bank holiday and University Closure days.
Everyday discounts to a number of activities and retailers.
Great family friendly policies.
On site gym and pool with discounted staff membership available
