Wardens

Senior Wardens

Senior Wardens are members of University staff who live in or very near the University Halls in University accommodation. They supervise a team of Wardens. When vacancies occur they will be advertised on the University Intranet. All Senior Wardens must be current member of the University staff. Currently students can NOT be Senior Wardens.

Wardens

Each spring the University will seek to recruit new Wardens to commence work in the following September. Wardens are expected to have a mature outlook and are often, though not exclusively, postgraduate students or mature undergraduate students. All wardens MUST be FULL TIME registered students of the University.

The Warden Team will hold at least 2 Open Evening sessions where interested students can talk to existing Wardens and Senior Wardens to discover what the job involves. Applications will then be invited from interested students who will be asked to provide a letter of application and a CV. A short list will be compiled and successful candidates invited for interview.

The Open Evenings will be advertised on the University Intranet and the jobs will always be advertised on the University Intranet.

All successful Wardens will be subject to a CRB check and be expected to attend a compulsory training week in September. This will be held in the week prior to Freshers Week.

Currently Wardens are provided with a single study bedroom in a hall of residence free of charge and will be expected to carry out duties (sometimes on a rota basis) as directed by a Senior Warden.

Occasionally a vacancy for a warden occurs during the academic session. This will always be advertised on the University Intranet.
