Student Wellbeing Officers
Student Wellbeing Officers offer advice, guidance and support if you're experiencing personal or academic issues that are affecting your ability to engage with student life.
We are based in academic departments and offer a friendly, non-judgmental space for you to talk through challenges you're facing and, where appropriate, help you to navigate University services as well as other sources of support.
We work in partnership with the Open Door Team, but we’re based in, and work closely with, your department. This gives us an understanding and appreciation of the particular challenges and demands that each degree programme presents. We also have strong relationships with departmental staff which means that, where appropriate, we’re able to work together to advise and guide you through any relevant policies and procedures.
What happens if I get in touch?
When you contact your Student Wellbeing Officer, you’ll be offered a meeting where we’ll discuss what’s going on, explore the support options available and work together to come up with a plan to help you move forward.
We have links to colleagues in the colleges, the Student Hub and other support services so, if we don’t have the answers, we can usually point you in the direction of those who are best placed to help.
