About the job
Interview date: 29 July 2024
We are looking to recruit a flexible, enthusiastic and self-motivated individual to take primary responsibility for developing a co-creative approach to engaging students in corrective and positive behaviour in halls of residence. This will include the implementation of Level 1 of the Student Disciplinary Policy.
The Student Behaviour Coordinator will facilitate workshops to address underlying issues impacting student behaviour and one-on-one mentoring sessions to improve and encourage student engagement.
This is an exciting role with the opportunity for the right candidate to help develop and shape our vision of student support in halls of residence.

About us
Come to the University of Northampton and you will see that we do things a bit differently.
We are one of the youngest universities in the UK but we are already leading the way in adding value to society, which we call social impact. We have won multiple awards for our work in this area, among others, but what matters the most to us is ensuring that our students and graduates have the opportunity to make their mark on the world too. That’s why we were the first university in the UK to be named as a Changemaker Campus in 2012.
We want to break the mould of what Higher Education can be. This has led us to build a whole new University from the ground up that is designed to reflect the way that students actually learn rather than the way they are expected to learn. Waterside Campus opened in September 2018.
Our commitment to transforming lives and inspiring change is at the heart of all that we do.

All candidates will be asked to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK at interview. Due to the requirements laid out by UK Visas and Immigration regarding Right to Work in the UK, the University can only accept applications from individuals who currently have a status allowing them to work in the UK for this position. Due to this criteria we regret that we are unable to offer sponsorship at this time.

This commitment, along with our legal and moral obligations, provides an inclusive environment for staff, students and the public who may be affected by our activities.
