Student Support Officer

A Student Support Officer looks after the various needs of students at a school, university or training organisation. You might provide students with information or advice on subject and course selection or provide guidance with other issues affecting their lives. You might connect students with other support services or help to organise student events such as graduations or career expos. Student Support Officers may also liaise with students and staff to meet other special requirements as needed.

To be a Student Support Officer you’ll need to have excellent communication skills and be able to work with people from a range of backgrounds. It’s important that you can listen to their needs and understand what they require. Student Support Officers should be highly organised and be able to solve problems quickly. You’ll need to be good at multitasking and able to work as part of a larger team.
