Our Wellbeing and Welfare department helps to lead on, and contribute to the student experience along with other support services such as academic registry, employability and careers and the Student's Union. We are looking for highly skilled mental health professionals with experience in supporting those with complex mental health needs.

Our well-established service is on a journey through an exciting period of transformation and you will work within a committed and supportive multi-disciplinary team made up of mental health nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, eating disorder therapists and counsellors. You will play a lead role in supporting the service and the wider University to offer proactive and compassionate mental health support to our entire student and staff community.

Leading a team of administrators serving the front line in wellbeing services across the institution, this role lends itself to a calm, clear-headed and empathetic individual with operational experience in a customer/student-facing environment, candidates with experience in wellbeing services will have an advantage. The role also encompasses elements of influence over the strategic direction for the future of wellbeing services at Surrey.

In addition to experience in wellbeing services, the post holder will require a number of skills in client record management systems, budget planning and processing, data protection and production of statistics for service evaluation. Candidates with experience of marketing, communications, and project coordination will be at an advantage for this role.
