We are looking to appoint an experienced Mental Health Support Worker to provide regular one-to-one support sessions for students with mental health difficulties and other vulnerabilities.

You will have experience and knowledge of working with individuals who have common mental health difficulties or who have been through crisis. You will also have a commitment to a holistic approach to mental health support.
This is an exciting opportunity offering the successful individual a chance to work across the University and also with external agencies.
Successful candidates will need a flexible attitude and will be calm and analytical, have excellent communication skills and a strong track record of providing one-to-one support.
Interviews will be held on the 10 February 2025.
We kindly request that all applicants refrain from canvassing during the shortlisting process. Your applications will be thoroughly reviewed, and you will be contacted and informed of the outcome in due course.

The post will be based at Luton and Bedford.
The University is committed to equality of opportunity and values the diversity of all its workforce and student population.
At the University of Bedfordshire, inclusivity is a key University value, and we are committed to creating an environment in which we celebrate and value the diversity of our staff and student community and provide fair opportunity and outcomes for all.
We recognise that diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent and benefit from opportunities that the diversity of talent and thought creates.
We, therefore, particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in the University of Bedfordshire’s workforce.
These include people from Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority backgrounds, disabled people; LGBTQ+ people; and women in some senior grades.
The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
We offer a range of employee benefits including a generous pension and annual leave entitlement, free fitness classes and gym membership, flexible working arrangements, personal and professional development, and family-friendly policies.
