Vacancies

ii) Uphold College and University rules

iii) Provide a first point of contact with students and student groups to help identify welfare concerns, and to liaise, advise or represent them as appropriate

iv) Provide a first point of contact for residential students, and guests in short-term accommodation, in emergencies out of normal office hours e.g. a fire or an individual/corporate crisis of any kind and hence help in maintaining the general welfare of the College and achieving a high level of security for the central College site.
