We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in the University of Hull workplace. These include people from global majority backgrounds, people who have a declared disability, LGBTQI+ people, and women, particularly for our Grade 9 and 10 roles.
The University of Hull is committed to driving successful outcomes for all students alongside delivering a great student experience within an inclusive environment that upholds the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our commitment to social justice drives us to create an educational experience that unlocks the full potential of our students.

We are seeking a highly motivated, creative, and compassionate individual with significant demonstrable experience of supporting and advocating for adults or young adults.
The post holder will be part of our first-response duty team.

A sound understanding of the factors impacting student success and wellbeing, alongside the ability to deliver evidence-based interventions for a range of wellbeing needs to a diverse range of students, is critical.
