Job description

A vacancy has arisen for the post of Residential Life Manager within the Wellbeing, Therapeutic and Residential Life Services team in the Student Experience Division of the University of Sussex.  You will be part of a team of five Residential Life Managers, providing daily welfare support to students in university-managed accommodation.  You will also make a major contribution to the creation and promotion of our exciting and innovative Residential Life Programme, which aims to create a vibrant student community through shared enterprise and education. Together with the other Residential Life Managers, you will manage a team of 45 Residential Life Connectors (student staff).

Due to the nature of the post, the post holder will be required to be part of an out-of-hours duty-phone rota as there will be a requirement to respond (very rarely) to exceptional incidents on campus such as a death or a fire.
