Warden

Christ Church seeks to appoint a current graduate student at the University of Oxford to join the Welfare Team as a Warden. The newly appointed Warden will join a team of four, with each Warden supporting the Junior Censor, Welfare Manager, and the wider welfare Team in promoting the welfare of Christ Church students and maintaining a positive academic and social environment for all. This will involve helping students to understand and resolve problems, managing minor discipline matters directly when relevant and reporting more serious misdemeanours and referring to senior staff when appropriate.

This fixed-term post is an excellent opportunity for a graduate student to develop experience of pastoral responsibility in a Higher Education setting and play a fulfilling role in a friendly college. The role is intended to provide a time-limited period of training and development, and it is a requirement of the role that the post-holder is a current graduate student at the University of Oxford. Therefore, for these reasons the appointment carries with it no expectation of permanent employment at Christ Church.

For more information, including how to apply, please see the attached Further Particulars.

Pro rata salary of £5,555.53 per annum (current rates)
