The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is one of the foremost social science universities in the world, with a global reach and an international student intake. Student Wellbeing is central to the student experience: we aim to ensure that every student feels that they belong to a welcoming, inclusive, supportive, caring, scholarly community.


LSE’s Student Wellbeing Service provides a single, integrated approach to support students, offers advice to staff across The School, and leads a wider initiative to improve student wellbeing.


We are recruiting a permanent, full-time Mental Health Adviser (MHA) to help support students with mental health difficulties in our multi-disciplinary service. The post-holder will play a key role in decision-making in relation to student risk. They will liaise both across The School and with community based mental health and primary care services in order to ensure students receive the right support. They will put in place reasonable adjustments for students with mental health conditions in order to meet LSE’s responsibilities under the Equality Act (2010). They will act as Duty Mental Health Adviser, triaging, assessing and managing risk and will carry a caseload of students, offering ongoing support. They will help promote inclusive practice across The School, carrying out training and awareness-building activities for both staff and students in relation to mental health and disability.


We are looking for candidates who can bring expertise to the role, working independently to manage their caseload and workload, whilst being an engaged team member. Candidates will have significant experience of working with students with complex mental health difficulties and have expert knowledge of mental health conditions as well as understanding their impact upon students. Candidates should demonstrate an ability to make decisions independently, including assessing and managing risk issues and be aware of when to appropriately escalate concerns. Candidates will be skilled in working with a range of clients from diverse backgrounds, as well as with a variety of presenting issues.


This position will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Any offer of employment made is conditional on receipt of a satisfactory DBS check.
