You’ll help shape a positive residential culture, support students in navigating shared living, and step in to support light conflict resolution, ensuring every household has what it needs to thrive.
Championing Mental Health & Wellbeing
You’ll keep a finger on the pulse of resident wellbeing, offering pastoral care and working proactively to make sure no one slips through the cracks.
People Leadership
Recruit, train, and lead a diverse team of Resident Assistants (RAs), guiding them to deliver meaningful support and energising events for their peers.
Social Media & Engagement
Keep our community buzzing online by managing day-to-day social media and sharing the incredible stories and events happening at the Village.

What You’ll Bring:

Excellent communication skills and the ability to manage multiple stakeholders.
-
A genuine passion for student life, mental health, and community development.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives on making meaningful connections, brings energy and creativity to their work, and wants to be part of something bigger. You’ll be helping students find belonging, purpose, and support, one conversation, event, or group dinner at a time.
