Do you have a passion for communications and content creation, and experience of running engaging events?

This is a chance to have a real impact on the lives of our students to help make sure they get the support they need to thrive at the University of Bath. We are seeking a Communications and Events Officer to join the Student Support Team to help communicate our services, activities and interventions to support student wellbeing.

What you will do:

Your impact won't end there. Supporting the wider team, you will welcome new students to the university to help them feel like they belong in Bath.

This is a creative and varied role where no two days will be the same. You could be updating service webpages before heading off to attend a student dog walk to capture content. Or you might help develop a communications plan around our anti-harassment campaign before planning our next wellbeing week.

Student Support provides advice and support to over 4000 students each year to help them succeed in their studies through the following teams:

This is a part-time role, working 21.9 hours (0.6 fte) per week, with the opportunity for some hybrid working.

The role may include, on occasion, weekend and evening work, particularly during September and October when we welcome new students onto campus.

For an informal discussion about this role please email Rob Heyes, Wellbeing Promotion and Induction Team Leader ([email protected])
