The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.

 

The Student Wellbeing team is a cross-institutional, faculty-based student support team, organised on a ‘hub and spoke’ basis with faculty-based staff who are supported and coordinated by specialist teams in Student Support & Wellbeing Services.

 

The purpose of the team is to triage on a variety of presenting issues, including wellbeing, mental health support, Support to Study and fitness to practice as appropriate, student of concern, safeguarding, harassment and bullying.

 

The team also support the wider institution in embedding systems and practices that enhance student wellbeing.

 

We are part of the Students & Education Directorate, a collection of wide-ranging professional services in place to support King’s students and their education. As a directorate we manage the student lifecycle from application to graduation and beyond, to ensure a coherent and seamless student experience and effective administrative processes, working closely with King’s faculties to do so.

The Faculty Wellbeing Advisors provide an accessible point of contact to all students, based in a particular faculty, offering professional and pastoral help and guidance if they are experiencing challenges or need support.

This will include regular office hours & drop-ins, and complements the work of Personal Tutors and Senior Tutors.

 

The post holder will be active in ensuring students are appropriately signposted to specialist services in a timely manner, and will be a key conduit between central and faculty-based services supporting students.

 

This is an exciting opportunity for candidates looking to support our King’s students, embed wellbeing practices throughout the student journey and to develop a culture of wellbeing through King’s, and who wish to utilise their skills and expertise in pastoral, supportive and wellbeing practices. This is an opportunity to grow your skills in the broad range of specialisms and areas that impact students’ wellbeing.
