Part-time secondment to the Student Guidance Service

17 Jul 2012

Opportunity open to academic members of staff

Are you a full-time member of academic staff who would like to gain wider experience in the field of student support? 

If so, you may like to consider a secondment to the University's Student Guidance Service (formerly known as the Academic Advisory Service), for twelve half-days over one semester. Applications are invited for secondments to the Service in each semester in 2012-2013.

The Student Guidance Service (SGS) is a support service open to all of our students. Students can discuss any matters affecting their academic progress with an advisor on a confidential, one-to-one basis.

The work is rewarding and endlessly varied, though some key issues do recur frequently, such as students' uncertainty about being on the right course and problems in adjusting to the independent style of university learning.

If you are interested in applying, or finding out more about the scheme, contact us before Friday 10 August at sgs@manchester.ac.uk
