Disability Support Officer
The University of Chester is seeking to appoint a full time Disability Support Officer (Neurodivergent Specialist) to join our multi award-winning Student Services department under the Disability and Inclusion team. This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-quality and enthusiastic Disability Service.
You will work directly with disabled students and applicants to ensure they are able to access reasonable adjustments to live and study independently.
A degree (or equivalent level qualification), experience of working with disabled people, and excellent communication and problem-solving skills are essential, along with an ability to work in a pressured environment to meet tight deadlines. A good working knowledge of support for disabled students in Higher Education is essential.
The post will be based at our Chester campus, but you will be expected to work flexibly across the University sites with an element of homeworking.
The Disability & Inclusion team and wider Student Services are a very close-knit, supportive workforce and would love to welcome a likeminded individual.
The University is committed to operating flexible working practices wherever possible.
