An exciting opportunity has arisen for an individual to join a dynamic and growing Advice Service, which is a critical part of our Students’ Union Operations. This role will work alongside our current Advice Caseworker to deliver our free and independent advice service to students studying at The University of Sunderland. Our Advice Service deals and supports students with a range of procedures including but not limited to academic misconduct, complaints, appeals and disciplinaries for students. You’ll use your experience to help us do more preventive work to help our students to take action on their own behalf. This is a fantastic opportunity to work alongside the other Advice Caseworker and the Manager of the Service to help shape and influence the future of the department moving forwards.

The post holder will need to demonstrate the essential criteria from the JD/Person specification within their application statement.

It is an exciting time to join us! We have recently achieved Quality Students’ Union accreditation from the National Union of Students and are currently going through a Democracy and Governance Review to revitalise the way our students interact with the Democracy and Governance of the organisation across both the Sunderland and London campuses.

Informal conversations regarding the post are encouraged with our Operations and HR Manager, Louise Dixon, ahead of application. Please email Louise at louise.a.dixon@sunderland.ac.uk to arrange an informal and confidential meeting.
