As part of this role, you will build professional working relationships with a caseload of students combining a person-centred approach with an understanding of the student’s condition, to support them with their academic progress.

 

An important additional aspect of the work is efficient use of CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems to communicate, book appointments and record sessions with students.

 

This role is campus-based, but you may be required to work with students online when this is their preference.

You will be a confident and competent IT user with experience of using CRMs and applications such as Microsoft Office. You will also have a good knowledge of using and incorporating Assistive Technology (AT) within the mentoring session.
