Dear All, Please see below an advertisement for the new post of part time Disability Adviser at the University of Wolverhampton. Although this is currently being advertised as 18.5 hours per week, we are currently in discussion with John Goodacre at Hereward College to establish a partnership agreement, which should allow the hours available to be increased to full time. We have not yet officially finalised these details, but it is likely that the post holder would work 18.5 hours here at the University of Wolverhampton and 18.5 hours at Hereward College in Coventry. People who are only able to work half time hours are, of course, still welcome to apply. The job description is attached for your information. Please contact our Personnel Services department as detailed below if you would like to apply or contact me with any informal enquiries. Best wishes, Cindy Marketing, Counselling and Guidance Student Enabling Centre Disability Adviser £20176 - £21517 pa pro rata The University of Wolverhampton is developing a Student Enabling Centre, which will ultimately make available high quality, co-ordinated support services to all disabled students at the University.

An understanding of the barriers facing disabled students and knowledge of the equipment and support available to them is also required.
