Student Basic Needs Coordinator (FTC - 24 Months)

Location: London (Hybrid)
Contract type: Fixed Term Contract
Hours: 35 hours a week
Salary: £31,833.05

Who we are

Part business, part charity, part membership body – students’ unions are all seriously fun places to work. They are organisations in their own right. Professionally run, but different. Professional teams support elected student leaders to make change, improve lives and fulfill potential; we help make it happen.

About the job

Are you passionate about enhancing student wellbeing and addressing barriers to academic success? Join us at Arts SU as our brand-new Student Basic Needs Coordinator and make a meaningful impact on our student community by contributing to our new Student Basic Needs Project.

Supported by Arts SU senior leadership, staff team and elected officers, you will play a vital role in creating and implementing initiatives that support students facing basic needs insecurities, including food, housing, and mental health. You will work collaboratively across university departments and with local organizations to promote awareness and access to essential resources.

You will gather and analyse data on student needs, organise workshops, and create informational materials to educate the community. Providing direct support through consultations and social media campaigns, you'll also collaborate with student leaders and campus partners on advocacy projects and community engagement initiatives.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a dynamic and proactive individual to join our team as the Student Basic Needs Coordinator. The ideal candidate will possess strong communication skills and a genuine commitment to supporting student wellbeing. You should have experience in outreach or program development, enabling you to effectively identify and address gaps in basic needs support.

The person we seek will be data-driven, capable of analyzing student needs and trends to inform strategic initiatives. You will be collaborative by nature, eager to work with diverse groups, including students, staff, and community organizations, to promote awareness and access to essential resources. A passion for community engagement and a desire to foster a supportive environment are essential, as is the ability to adapt outreach efforts based on student feedback.

Additionally, you should be comfortable gathering feedback, developing digital outreach strategies, and creating informational materials that resonate with students and staff. Your advocacy skills will be crucial in guiding student leaders and enhancing campus initiatives aimed at addressing basic needs issues. If you are motivated by making a positive impact on the student experience and thrive in a collaborative setting, we encourage you to apply.
