Job description
We are looking for a skilled caseworker to provide high-quality advice and support to LSE students
We are recruiting an additional full-time Caseworker to join our small and high performing team, alongside an existing Caseworker and Advice Manager. We pride ourselves on our innovative approach to student support and are looking for someone who shares that creative ambition and drive.
About LSESU
The London School of Economics and Political Science Students' Union (LSESU) is a high-profile, student-led charity representing and supporting over 11,000 students at one of the world's leading social science institutions.
We're currently in an exciting period of growth and transformation, with a newly appointed Chief Executive and a clear sense of purpose: to help students make the most of all the life-changing opportunities available to them at LSE.
- We help students make friends and feel like they belong at LSE, through clubs, societies, sports, and events.
- We make sure students voices’ get heard by decision makers LSE.
- We provide practical support for the students who need us most: those facing housing difficulties, financial hardship, academic appeals, immigration issues.
The Advice Service sits right at the heart of that last commitment, making this one of the most directly impactful roles in the Students’ Union.
About the team:
The LSESU Advice Service supports students across a range of academic and housing issues, while also administering a series of increasingly sought-after hardship funds. As Advice Caseworker, you’ll be expected to become an expert in these areas, delivering the bulk of the casework and making a difference to the students who need it most.
You’ll also work closely with our Communications team to shape our communication and engagement strategy - raising stakeholder awareness, improving service accessibility, and providing students with regular, proactive and useful information.
The Advice Service sits within the Student Voice Department, alongside the Representation Team. You will work closely with colleagues across the Student Voice department and the wider Student Union, along with Student Support teams at LSE.
About the role
We're looking for a skilled caseworker who is both empathetic and pragmatic.
You'll manage a large, complex caseload while consistently meeting response-time targets, and you'll bring a positive, solution-focused attitude to the challenges that come with it. Above all, you're genuinely enthusiastic about supporting students and comfortable navigating the complexities of working with an external stakeholder organisation.
This role centres on providing 1:1 advice via email, video call, and in-person appointments, so strong interpersonal, written, and oral communication skills are essential.
You'll also need strong diligence and the ability to digest complex regulations and translate them into clear, practical guidance — this is crucial to delivering the high level of support LSE students rely on.
In many ways, this is not a typical Advice Service, and we are not looking for a typical Advice Caseworker. We are seeking someone who is self-motivated, driven, resilient, and a role model to others. The ideal candidate will be a strong collaborator, able to support colleagues, and skilled at building and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships.
How to apply?
We want to ensure that all systems, policies and processes are free from bias or discrimination and are fair and accessible. Therefore, we ask that all candidates complete our application process by uploading the following three documents:
Part 1: CV – Outlining your skills and experience to date.
Part 2: Supporting Statement – A one-page statement explaining your suitability for the role. This will be used to determine if you are shortlisted for an interview. Please do not include any personal information (e.g., name or date of birth). Use the attached job description and person specification to help with this.
Part 3: Equal Opportunities Monitoring and Contact Form – This includes personal information so we can contact you if you are shortlisted for an interview. It also allows us to gather and analyse demographic information about our applicants. This form will only be seen by HR and will not impact shortlisting.
Application forms are formatted to ensure the equality monitoring data is removed before they are reviewed by the shortlisting panel. This process ensures that shortlisting is conducted fairly and consistently, giving all applicants an equal opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.
