About the job
Interview date: 23 September 2024
We are looking to recruit a flexible, enthusiastic and self-motivated individual to take primary responsibility for developing a co-creative approach to engaging students in corrective and positive behaviour in halls of residence. This will include the implementation of Level 1 of the Student Disciplinary Policy.
The Student Behaviour Coordinator will facilitate workshops to address underlying issues impacting student behaviour and one-on-one mentoring sessions to improve and encourage student engagement.
This is an exciting role with the opportunity for the right candidate to help develop and shape our vision of student support in halls of residence. Whilst this centres around student behaviour management, the right candidate will need to possess emotional intelligence and an empathetic nature; supporting personal growth and developing emotional resilience in our students is at the heart of everything we do.
This post is subject to a background disclosure check by the Disclosure and Barring Service before any appointment can be confirmed.
About you
To succeed in this post, you will possess good interpersonal skills, the confidence to discuss disciplinary issues with potentially argumentative students and a commitment to providing a positive student experience.
You will possess the organisational skills needed to cope with a large and varied case load. The post will also require flexibility in your working day and your working hours in order to meet the expectations of our student population.
You will also possess exceptional administration skills and a high level of IT skills including advanced use of Microsoft office packages.
Working varied hours between Monday-Friday (in agreement with your line manager), you will need to move between our sites throughout Northampton dependant on the demands of our student population and both internal and external stake holders.
During keys times in the year there will also be the need to work some additional hours (evening/weekends).

About us
Come to the University of Northampton and you will see that we do things a bit differently.
We are one of the youngest universities in the UK but we are already leading the way in adding value to society, which we call social impact. We have won multiple awards for our work in this area, among others, but what matters the most to us is ensuring that our students and graduates have the opportunity to make their mark on the world too. That's why we were the first university in the UK to be named as a Changemaker Campus in 2012.
We want to break the mould of what Higher Education can be. This has led us to build a whole new University from the ground up that is designed to reflect the way that students actually learn rather than the way they are expected to learn. Waterside Campus opened in September 2018.
Our commitment to transforming lives and inspiring change is at the heart of all that we do.
Right to work
All candidates will be asked to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK at interview. Due to the requirements laid out by UK Visas and Immigration regarding Right to Work in the UK, the University can only accept applications from individuals who currently have a status allowing them to work in the UK for this position. Due to this criteria we regret that we are unable to offer sponsorship at this time.
Equality
We welcome applications from underrepresented groups.
The University of Northampton is committed to providing a vibrant, ethical and sustainable work, study and living environment that values equality, diversity and inclusion.
This commitment, along with our legal and moral obligations, provides an inclusive environment for staff, students and the public who may be affected by our activities.
Together @ UON confirms our commitment to equality and inclusion, underpinned by our belief in taking action. We are dedicated to creating an environment that celebrates equality and harnesses the power of diversity.
