Student Resident Assistant

In each of our Halls, we are seeking 4 Assistants who will be willing to work as a part of a team acting as our residents’ first point of contact, out of hours. This is a supportive role, and you will be helping to ensure the safety of your peers. You’ll also be a key member of the accommodation team in your building.

There will be an expectation to help with arrivals and departures, organise and run social and wellbeing events and undertake some out of hours administration to help with the smooth running of the residences.

Comfortable with taking responsibility, you will be confident in dealing with situations and knowing when to escalate to a higher level. An ability to remain impartial is needed, alongside being sensitive to student needs.

Ideally you will be a current resident in the Halls you will be working in for the academic year 2022/2023 and must be prepared to live in the Halls for the academic year 2023/2024.

You will be fully supported in your role by the University Student Support Team and will have the opportunity to participate in meetings with other Student Resident Assistants and University staff. Full training will be given, especially in the areas of Fire Regulations, Health & Safety, mental health and emergency first aid.

Please note that this is a live in role and the Student Resident Assistant will need to live in, and pay rent for, either Beechcroft or Duke Street Riverside, dependant on where the role is situated.
