Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.
Liverpool John Moores University is looking for an experienced advisor to join our busy student-facing Disability Advice Team.
You will provide advice and guidance to students with disabilities relating to all aspects of university life and funding. This will include support to apply for DSA, arranging support, liaising with academic staff, and developing support/learning plans with students.
As well as demonstrating significant experience and expertise in supporting students with disabilities, you will need to be positive, organised, pro-active, practical, and supportive. Our advisors need to be able to problem-solve with students and academics, helping to ensure that barriers to learning are eliminated and that our students with disabilities have a great experience at LJMU.
Excellent communication and IT skills are essential, as well as a working knowledge of allowances and funding available to students. You should be able to interact with a range of people and be committed to providing an excellent service.
This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.
If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.
