Applications are invited for the post of Community Wellbeing Co-ordinator within the Wellbeing department at Royal Holloway University of London.

The role holder will act as the first point of contact for all aspects of supporting students living in the local community. The role will include responding to all community concerns raised, and also providing administrative and triage support to the Wellbeing: Support & Guidance team of Wellbeing Advisers and Harassment Advisers. The Co-ordinator will act to support students living in the local community and seek to promptly resolve areas of concern under our internal processes which will include partnership working with teams in Runnymede Borough Council and Surrey Police and engagement with members of the local community.

Working closely with professionals in the Wellbeing Department and colleagues across the university, the successful candidate will contribute to the supportive and transformative university experience we strive to provide for our students and support our long-standing commitment to being a good neighbour to the communities of Egham and Englefield Green.
