The role:

This is a part-time, fixed-term and live-in position. RAs live in shared apartments at our Highfield House student residence (‘the Res’). The RA will share their apartment with fellow staff members and non-programme residents (usually mature and/or post-graduate student residents). Each resident will have their own bedroom and en-suite bathroom.

The primary function of the RA is to build and nurture a sense of community amongst the Big Pond student community. This involves work both inside and outside the residence hall. Given the nature of the position and work it is difficult to define exact working hours of each week. There is a loose expectation that each RA will work for 20 hours a week, although this may be more during busy periods and far less during quieter periods. The beginning and end of each semester tend to be the busier times.
