The Office of Voluntary Subwarden - Robert Bakewell Hall
A subwarden vacancy has arisen at Robert Bakewell Hall - one of the newest and most popular halls of residence at Loughborough University.
Applications for this exciting opportunity are invited from Post Graduate Research students - ideally with a substantial amount of time remaining on their programme.
Duties: Subwardens assist the Warden in the day to day running of the hall. This may involve pastoral, disciplinary and administrative duties as well as being involved in social aspects of hall life. The successful applicants will be part of a team which provides out-of-hours emergency cover in a hall of 400 students and which helps to ensure the smooth running of the hall.
Personal Attributes: Candidates must display a high level of personal organisational ability, good administrative ability, leadership qualities and be a good team player. Subwardens are expected to demonstrate a commitment to the community spirit of the Hall.
It is very important to find out what you are committing yourself to and to understand what is involved. All applicants are required to find out more about the hall community as it forms an integral part of the selection process. The successful applicant must be available to attend Subwarden training sessions as required (e.g. First Aid Training, Mental Health First Aid Training).
Accommodation and Catering Arrangements: Free accommodation is available throughout the year. The accommodation available for subwardens is only suitable for a single person. Robert Bakewell is self-catered, however some meals are provided during term time through the diners+ scheme.
