Student Life Assistants - Please only apply if you are registered on a course at UWE for the 2024/25 academic year. 

 We have an exciting opportunity for students who wish to join the UWE Bristol Student Life Team.  The role of the Student Life Assistant is to provide support to students living within University Accommodation and in private rented accommodation, enabling them to feel a sense of belonging to the UWE Bristol community. Student Life Assistants will help UWE Bristol students understand their role and responsibilities to their community, enable students to positively contribute to student life and be supported to model healthy and inclusive behaviours.

Student Life Assistants bring UWE Bristol students together in an informal setting to provide a friendly and professional peer to peer support, helping to engage, be part of their community and help promote a sense of belonging amongst the student population. The postholders will encourage and enable all students to engage with events, linked projects and positive promotion of support services available to help them create strong connections with other students, The Students’ Union at UWE and the University.

It is an exciting time to be joining UWE Bristol: our recently launched Strategy 2030 sets out an ambitious programme of significant transformational projects to enhance the student experience.

 About us: Accommodation Services provide a home to over 5600 students living within our portfolio and in nominated City properties. This role will help deliver a high-quality service within a customer-focused environment which operates 24/7/365. The role is not limited to just those students living in university accommodation but also those living privately or at home, who also need to feel a sense of belonging to the UWE Bristol community.

The post has been developed in partnership with the Students’ Union at UWE to ensure that the student voice is heard, understood, and embedded across all areas of our work and the wider University.

Our dedicated team of staff provide support and signposting on a wide variety of emotional and practical issues, from issues living with others, behaviour management, homesickness, general wellbeing, connecting students to the support offered by the wider University.

In all our activities, we are driven by a culture of continuous improvement, implementing enhancements to our service delivery to support an exceptional staff and student experience.
