Location: Virtual

Adjustments: You can ask for reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process and in the role. Unfortunately we cannot extend the application deadline. Examples of adjustments include providing information in a different format and giving having the maximum time you can claim on your time sheets altered.

All applicants will be given the interview questions in advance, regardless of whether they are successful at progressing to interview stage. This is a standard accessibility measure. 

Interviews

Interviews will take place in the week commencing  28th April during office hours. The panel will consist of two staff members, and in some cases a current Wellbeing and Accessibility Advisor will attend to answer any questions you may have (dependent on their availability). Outcomes will be communicated the week following this. 
 

Role description

Students provide their feedback on their experience, including ULaw services, resources, and websites via virtual panels. Some, although not all, panels will require preparatory reading or written feedback. 

This feedback is anonymised and fed into the university’s Accessibility group, which looks at improve the experiences and outcomes of Disabled students and provide a more inclusive service.

Work is assigned to advisors via email, and examples of work assigned include: 

• Being asked to visit a website or guidance document and provide feedback on your experience via an online form  
• Being asked to attend a ‘panel’, which is a video call held via Teams, with advisors and members of staff. We will typically provide questions in advance so that you know what to expect.   

This role is an excellent opportunity to gain some valuable work experience and leadership skills as well as developing professionalism, respect for others and social awareness. The role is intended to fit around the role holder’s studies.  

Hours

This is a casual role, meaning that there are no minimum hours per week. Based on the work from previous years, the role will likely involve attendance at 3 panel meetings a year. Work undertaken outside of panels, including preparatory work for the panel itself, is assigned periodically.

Panels take place on weekdays during standard office hours (9am - 5pm). 

Travel

We do not anticipate that you will be asked to attend any in-person events or activities as part of this role. All work assigned and feedback given is conducted virtually.

The job description also includes the interview questions that will be asked, should you be successful in progressing to the interview stage.

My experience of being a Wellbeing and Accessibility Advisor

Working as a WAA has been a fantastic experience. I’ve had the privilege of being a voice for students who felt unheard, advocating for their needs alongside my fellow advisors. Together, we tackled important issues like teaching practices, inclusivity, and accessibility features at our university. Sharing firsthand experiences allows us to make a real impact. 

This role has not only empowered me to contribute meaningfully but also strengthened my connection with the student community. Overall, it’s been a rewarding opportunity to help shape a more inclusive environment.
