College Mentor for Students

Part-time (0.5)

Magdalen College is seeking to appoint a College Mentor for Students to provide practical and informed advice to students at the College regarding welfare matters, and to work closely and sensitively with the wider group concerned with the welfare of undergraduate and graduate students within the College.

The successful candidate will have relevant experience, which might include providing academic skills support, pastoral care in an academic setting, familiarity with the issues faced by students with a range of conditions, including ADHD, autism, and SpLDs, experience in dealing with a range of psychological, emotional, and practical problems, and helping students to develop their independence and to build resilience. It is envisaged that the appointee could combine this position with an existing research, teaching, or other professional role, but no particular arrangement is expected, and the College welcomes applications from a wide variety of professional backgrounds.

This fixed-term post runs from 5 January 2026 (or as soon as possible thereafter) to 30 September 2026. There is a possibility of re-appointment thereafter.

Full details of the post and the application process are set out in the further particulars, available by clicking the 'Apply' button above. The deadline for applications is 12.00 noon on Monday 17 November 2025. Interviews are expected to take place on Wednesday 26 November 2025.

The College particularly welcomes applications from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic candidates.
