The University of Glasgow is committed to the wellbeing and success of its students and to providing effective and flexible support services which aid successful study. As a key member of the Student Wellbeing Directorate, the Safeguarding Officer will work within a multi-disciplinary team, to respond to safeguarding concerns, including but not limited to; mental health crises, reports of concerning behaviour and disclosures of harassment, hate crime, sexual violence, relationship abuse, bullying and other forms of unacceptable behaviour.

Reporting to the Safeguarding Manager, the Safeguarding Officer will work alongside a range of professional colleagues in counselling and advisory roles to manage risk, support the student safeguarding agenda and ensure appropriate practical advice and guidance for vulnerable students.

The role holder will work collaboratively to support our students and to assist staff who are responding to presenting or emerging concerns. The Safeguarding Officer will develop and nurture partnerships with external agencies and services, to support students whose needs fall outside the remit of Student Services.
