Would you like to explain your last sentence,  for if I have read it correctly is offensive

Yes, the term Officer reeks of class division (us and them) and should be avoided at all costs.  Stick with co-ordinator, it is the safest option.  In my experience very few of those involved in disability work in HE can actually manage anything.

Subject: disability officer role

 

Hello Colleagues.

 

Here at York St John University we are currently trying to better define what the role of a Disability ‘Officer’ is as opposed to a disability ‘co-ordinator’ or ‘manager’.

 

Is anyone, from their own experience, able to define for me the difference between the roles?

 

Alternatively, if you have the title of ‘Officer’ I would be most grateful to receive a copy of your job description (off line if preferred) if you are happy to forward to me.

 

I very much look forward to your responses.

 

Very best wishes

 

Wendy
