About the Role
Are you passionate about supporting young people to succeed and grow? As a Student Relations Officer, you'll play a key role in shaping the student experience across our Park Lane Campus.
This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same.

We’re looking for someone who brings energy, empathy, and adaptability. You’ll be a familiar, friendly face on campus greeting students, encouraging positive behaviour, and being a trusted point of contact for our students.

If you love building relationships, motivating others, and creating opportunities for young people to thrive, this could be the perfect role for you.
What You Will Do
Build a strong sense of community by encouraging respectful communication and positive relationships among students, staff, and visitors.
Lead by example, modelling positive behaviour and using restorative approaches to guide and support students when challenges arise.
Inspire students to engage fully in their studies and wider college life by boosting attendance, punctuality, and participation in enrichment activities that support their growth and development.
Support student wellbeing, responding with care and professionalism to sensitive issues and signposting learners to the right support services when needed.
Help keep our campus safe and secure, taking appropriate action when incidents occur and contributing to a calm, respectful, and professional environment.
About You
Experience working with young people in education, youth work, or community settings, with a genuine passion for supporting their development.
The ability to connect with and motivate young people, building positive relationships that encourage engagement and participation.
