Job purpose 

UCA is home to over 6,000 creative students, and as part of UCA Students’ Union the Advice & Wellbeing Coordinator is key to UCASU’s commitment to helping students have an amazing time at university.

At the heart of UCA Students’ Union’s relationship with its members, you will support students when things don't go to plan and lead on our work to promote a healthy lifestyle and wellbeing on campus.

You will be responsible for supporting casework via a number of channels, whether face to face, via video, email, or social media. Individual and group support are ways in which you can advise students on issues ranging from mental health and wellbeing, to complaints, academic appeals and even sexual violence and misconduct. The ideal candidate will have a strong knowledge of current themes and issues within Students’ Unions and Higher Education Institutions and act as an advocate for students in non-legal dealings, primarily with the University but also with external parties.

The successful individual will have a strong understanding of the complexities of working in partnership with a large organisation and will be able to build comprehensive cases to empower UCA students. The role is expected to liaise with a variety of individuals including Students’ Union staff, Sabbatical Officers and University staff and therefore excellent interpersonal skills are required, in order to build and maintain relationships with these key stakeholders.

Main Duties 

Responsible for providing one-to-one and group advice to students for academic issues and providing support and help for wellbeing related issues

• Undertake casework with students on a 1-2-1 and group basis which will involve contact with students face to face, over the telephone and via email.
• Assess individual cases and advise students on how they may best move forward, in light of legislation, relevant regulations and University regulations.
• Where appropriate, act as an advocate of students in non-legal dealings primarily with the university, and on occasions with external parties.
• Plan tasks and prepare content that contribute to publicity campaigns, workshops, website and information publications.
• Manage the case management system and liaise with third parties on any relevant updates.
• Maintain documents and systems in line with Union procedures.
• Liaise with University staff and other relevant external parties to share information in relation to advice work and related projects.

Contribute to the Union’s strategic and operational planning and provide support to the Sabbatical Officers on issues relating to advice and wellbeing.

• Present monthly reports on caseloads to Deputy Chief Executive.
• Present monthly reports on key data findings to Union Development Manager.
• Contribute to strategic planning by putting forward ideas which improve advice and wellbeing based upon evidence from all relevant stakeholders.
• Contribute to the operational planning of the department, in particular the academic calendar and the activities that fall within it.
• Review the success of advice and wellbeing and make future recommendations on how to improve the service.
• Advise sabbatical officers on specific projects relating to advice and wellbeing

This Job Description is not intended to be an exhaustive list and will be considered to be reviewed regularly in  line with the Union’s development.

The University of East London Students' Union is a membership organisation set up to ensure students are empowered to have a full university experience. We offer our members opportunities to meet new people, explore interests and establish mechanisms to improve their course and University.

This is a new role which has been created to help us resolve some big challenges. We do not have enough activities and events happening on our campuses. Outside a small core group, student participation is extremely low. We know that the support we offer to our student groups could be much better. We do not have a formal recognition scheme in place for volunteers. We want somebody who is up for the challenge of helping us to resolve this.

We expect the head of opportunities to transform our approach to student activities and events. Our goal in this area is to support the building of engaged communities on our campuses. The job includes overseeing the work of student groups, developing an events programme (not just bar/venue entertainment, but lecture series, day trips and so on), and building new student media outlets, starting with a student newspaper. The head will also be responsible for develop a new volunteering strategy and putting in place a recognition scheme for volunteers which links with the University’s schemes (and includes other volunteers such as course reps).

You will have experience of doing a similar role (this does not have to be in students’ unions) and be able to demonstrate success in getting people involved.

Do you want to be a key part of a global fundraising and volunteering campaign? Are you passionate about the difference that philanthropy can make to the lives of people across the world?

We are an ambitious and successful research-intensive University (one of the top 100 research-led universities globally) and have produced 10 Nobel Prize winners, including three who received their awards in 2016.  Academics here are tackling some of the world’s most pressing global challenges such as antibody testing and Covid-19, the impact of climate change on our woodlands and forests, issues caused by migration and displacement, the rise in youth mental health issues, and the prevention of needless maternal deaths in the developing world. Our students come from nearly 150 countries and our flagship outreach programmes mean that almost 25% of our student population come from disadvantaged backgrounds, one of the highest proportions in the UK. Philanthropy has always played an important role in shaping the University, most recently in 2015 when we closed the Circles of Influence Campaign, which raised £193 million, making it the largest HE fundraising campaign outside Oxbridge and London. Through the ‘Birmingham In Action’ campaign, philanthropy will continue to play a vital role in delivering projects to change lives locally, nationally, and internationally.

The Donor Engagement Officer role is your opportunity to join our excellent team at an exciting time.  Stewardship and donor engagement are vital activities to the success of any philanthropic campaign.  Donors of time and money need to be thanked and understand what their support has achieved, and how integral their gifts have been to making a positive and meaningful difference to the student community and to academic research. In doing so, donors are encouraged to continue their giving, and to increase and diversify their support.

The appointment of a Donor Engagement Officer will double the stewardship resource within DARO, allowing for an expansion of our donor engagement programmes.  The Donor Engagement Officer will be expected to lead and manage the stewardship activity for our regular donors, four-figure donors, and volunteers, and to support on stewardship for our five-figure donors.  The successful candidate will work with our Communications and Events Teams to deliver appropriate, meaningful, and effective activities that express gratitude and communicate impact.  They will work closely with colleagues in the Fundraising, Volunteering and Regular Giving Teams to build programmes to steward these key donor communities, and will work alongside the Data Team to help manage donor data and segmentation.   

The successful candidate will have outstanding communication skills with experience in writing for impact, in creating digital content, and an understanding of the needs and expectations of different audiences.  They will be able to balance creativity and imagination with a structured, thoughtful and organised approach to their work. They will be creative and conscientious programme deliverers who value integrity and sincerity, and who will demonstrate these qualities through their work.

As an office, we are committed to sustainability and value green working practices. The environment is an integral part of our campaign and we encourage eco-friendly ways of working in order to have a positive impact on our campus and global surroundings.
