The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is one of the foremost social science universities in the world, with a global reach and an international student intake. The Student Wellbeing Service (SWS) is central to the student experience: we aim to ensure that every student feels that they belong to a welcoming, inclusive, supportive, caring, scholarly community.

SWS provides a range of direct services to students, including support for disability, mental health, counselling, and general wellbeing. In addition, the service undertakes proactive outreach to encourage timely engagement with support, develops effective peer and self-help initiatives, and delivers community-building activities to promote wellbeing across the School. These include workshops, events, engagement activities, and trainings.

We are seeking a Wellbeing Adviser to join our Wellbeing team, within SWS. The Wellbeing Adviser will proactively work with students across the School to support their wellbeing. The Wellbeing Adviser will provide and deliver non-therapeutic support aimed at enabling study for students with wellbeing issues, mental health difficulties and disabilities. This will be in the form of one-to-one support, workshops, events and other engagement activities. The Wellbeing team will be students’ first point of entry into the Student Wellbeing Service (SWS). They will triage students, signposting them to services within the wider SWS team, the School, or appropriate external services. The postholder will work with other teams within the service to ensure an integrated range of services to students.
