Full-Time, Permanent
Applications are invited for the post of Specialist Mentor working within the Directorate of Student Life at Royal Holloway University of London.
Role
This full-time role provides an exciting opportunity to support students and play an important role in the delivery of Royal Holloway’s wellbeing and experience offering. The Directorate of Student Life includes a broad range of student facing teams who are core to the student journey:
* Active Lifestyle & Sport
* Counselling & Mental Health
* Hall Life
* Student Engagement & Insights
* Chaplaincy
* Disability & Neurodiversity
* International & Money Advice
* Wellbeing Support & Community
Reporting to the Disability Adviser (Specialist Mentors) they will contribute to the work of the Directorate and support the strategy and aims of the University and Student Journey Division. Role holders will be expected to demonstrate our University values - being Daring, Innovative, Open and Respectful – in their work and be a champion of equality, diversity and inclusion.
As a specialist tutor you will provide one to one assistance to students with mental health conditions and/or autistic spectrum conditions who have Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) funding. You will assist students in developing strategies to overcome any barriers to their learning. The post holder will be required to meet the DSA mandatory qualifications for this role which are detailed in the job description. As per current DSA guidance, students are offered the option of online (MS Teams) or face to face support.
With advice from the Disability & Neurodiversity team, the Specialist Mentor will help these students manage the effect of their disability issues on their studies and on their experience as Royal Holloway students. With roles in Student Life there is a need for some campus-based working to enable in-person student appointments (based on student preference and need) but there will be some opportunity for working remotely each week.
We are ideally looking for someone who is able to commit to this post full time but would also consider applications from those interested in an 0.8 FTE post. The role will require a minimum of three days on campus in Egham each week.
In return we offer a highly competitive rewards and benefits package including:
* Generous annual leave entitlement
* Training and Development opportunities
* Pension Scheme with generous employer contribution
* Various schemes including Cycle to Work, Season Ticket Loans and help with the cost of Eyesight testing.
* Free parking
The post is based in Egham, Surrey where the University is situated in a beautiful, leafy campus near to Windsor Great Park and within commuting distance from London.
