As it is Friday, and I am going away for two weeks at the end of today
so I won't get to read any controversial replies, I'm going to add my
two penn'th (sorry if that is spelt wrong!).
In my experience, disability advisers/officers/managers/coordinators in
disability office/ student support services/learning support/additional
support/learning difference etc etc (apologies if I have missed you out)
have to manage EVERYTHING!
I think this is what Lloyd was saying!
Have fun.

Have I understood your sentence correctly? ("for if I have read it
correctly is offensive")
We could settle for mutual incomprehension but, like it or not, I will
try to explain......the OED defines irony as "the expression of meaning
through the use of words which normally mean the opposite, typically in
order to be humorous in order to emphasize a point".

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
