"Learning Support Advisor"

The University’s Student Life provision brings together a range of support services including counselling, mental health and well-being, learning support (disability), and student finance. This role sits within a well-established learning/disability support service.

The Learning Support Team are one of the first and ongoing points of contact for both current and prospective students with a broad range of disabilities, learning differences and enduring health/mental health conditions, some of which are of a complex nature.

We are seeking someone who is educated to degree level or equivalent, ideally holding a relevant qualification and/or training, with significant experience of providing advice, guidance and assistance to disabled students within an education setting, preferably Higher Education.

The ideal candidate will be experienced and have a proven background in assessing the needs of disabled students. They will also be able to demonstrate knowledge and experience in identifying reasonable adjustments, non-medical help support, and creating effective individualised Learning Support Plans and Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs). Recent working knowledge and experience of assisting students in applying for and accessing support via Government Disabled Students’ Allowances is also desirable.

The ideal candidate will possess excellent communication, time and task management skills, with the ability to work effectively under pressure to tight deadlines within a busy working environment. They will also have a proactive, solution-focussed approach to their work with good attention to detail in relation to record-keeping and administration. The role is office-based at our Hope Park Campus, although attendance at other university campus locations may be required on occasion.
