Senior Residential Officer
Leeds Metropolitan University, Carnegie Campus
I was asked if I would be interested in a part time position (evenings/weekends) involving some living in at student residences (Sugarwell Court), as a residential officer. They said they were impressed at the interview and I was asked if I would take on a more senior role. I was reluctant initially, due to my other responsibilities, but finally agreed.
I was involved in all aspects of students Pastoral care, including thorough investigations of incidents in and around the campus/student accommodation. I was "on call" and actively managing and motivating a small team of officers.
I enjoyed and handled this role for roughly 8 months and only gave it up due to my other commitments starting to clash, timing wise.
