The University of Glasgow has been changing the world for more than 574 years, and we are one of the world's top 100 universities, ranked 12th in the world in the Times Higher Education (THE) World Impact Rankings 2024, demonstrating that we are not only one of the best universities in the United Kingdom, but one of the best universities for the world. Our people have always been at the forefront of innovation, and our past achievements inspire our current world changers.
This is a great opportunity for a Student Support Officer – Life Sciences to join the University’s Student Services.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Student Support Officer (SSO) to join the team. You will help students to be successful learners, by providing first line support, encouraging and helping students to resolve issues and difficulties, and signposting them to sources of information, advice and guidance in relation to their studies, their wellbeing and their future lives and careers.
As part of its commitment to the wellbeing and success of its students, the University of Glasgow is expanding its student support model to ensure that all students have access to a range of types of support appropriate to their needs and that services are visible, seamless, effective and tailored to the needs of the student community.
A wide programme of early intervention self-help activities and resources is complemented by a peer support programme and a network of College-based Student Support Officers and access to specialist student services, including Financial Aid, Careers, Counselling & Psychological Services, Disability Service, Learning Enhancement and Development Service (LEADS).
The network of College-based Student Support Officers is now expanding to create teams who will work across all 4 Colleges and School divides, as well as in specialist areas within Student and Academic Services. Working closely together as a network will ensure that students’ needs can be identified at an earlier stage and the most appropriate kind of support provided so that they can fulfil their learning potential.
Led by the University’s Student Support and Wellbeing function and based within one of the 4 Colleges as an integral member of the College student support team, the Student Support Officer (SSO) will help students to be successful learners, by providing first line support, encouraging and helping students to resolve issues and difficulties, and signposting them to sources of information, advice and guidance in relation to their studies, their wellbeing and their future lives and careers.
The post holder will ensure the effective visibility, coordination and seamless delivery of student support and wellbeing provision so that students can access the support they need and when they need it in their local context.
They will share relevant insight and knowledge of the student journey to develop student services across the institution and collaborate with colleagues to promote University wide initiatives, that support our shared values and promote ambition and excellence
