The Wellbeing Service are looking to recruit a new Wellbeing Adviser to work as part of busy team supporting students with physical and sensory disabilities, temporary disabilities, and long-term conditions. 

You will provide student-centred advice, guidance and identify the support needs and reasonable adjustments required by students. You will undertake case work with individual students, liaise with external services, and provide advice to academic and other staff to enable students to access their courses and the wider opportunities offered by the University. 

The Wellbeing Adviser will play an active role in the promotion of inclusivity within the student and wider University community.

This post is available immediately on an indefinite, full-time basis. The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.  Appointment will be subject to a criminal record check at Enhanced level from the Disclosure and Barring Service, including a check of the Child and Adult Barred Lists. It is an offence to apply for this role if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children or vulnerable adults.

UEA offers a variety of flexible working options and although this role is

advertised on a full-time basis, we encourage applications from individuals who

would prefer a flexible working pattern including annualised hours, compressed

working hours, part time, job share, term-time only and/or hybrid working.

Details of preferred hours should be stated in the personal statement and will be

discussed further at interview.

Applications from Black, Asian or other minority ethnic backgrounds are particularly welcome as these groups are currently underrepresented within Student Services. 

Closing Date:  6 December 2022

The University is committed to diversifying its workforce. As examples, we already hold an Athena SWAN Silver Institutional Award in recognition of our advancement towards gender equality. We also have a Vice-Chancellor led Taskforce on Tackling Racism and a Race Equality Charter Working Group which support our work on race equality. Our aim is to submit to the Race Equality Charter in 2024.
