Disability Support Officer

The University of Chester is seeking to appoint a full-time Disability Support Officer to join our multi award-winning Student Services department under the Disability and Inclusion team. This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-quality and enthusiastic Disability Service.

You will work directly with disabled students and applicants to ensure they are able to access reasonable adjustments to live and study independently.

A degree (or equivalent level qualification), experience of working with disabled people and excellent communication and problem-solving skills are essential, along with an ability to work in a demanding environment to meet tight deadlines. A good working knowledge of support for disabled students in Higher Education is essential.

The post will be based at our Chester campus, but you will be expected to work flexibly across the University sites with an element of homeworking.

This is an opportunity to join a dedicated and supportive team, working within a collaborative Student Services environment committed to delivering excellent support to students.
