Hall Wardens play a critical role in ensuring the experience of students in our Halls of Residence. As a crucial part of the Student Life team in Student Services, the Hall Warden is responsible for the wellbeing of the students in the hall and for building and fostering an inclusive community spirit within the hall. They are responsible for steering, supporting, and working with the Hall Committee to develop a positive and inclusive hall environment.
Falkner Eggington is a self-catered hall with around 519 bedrooms. It is one of the largest self-catered halls on campus. Also known as ‘Falk Egg’ the hall is known for its strong sense of community. This community spirit is well recognised amongst alumni with charitable events such as the ‘Old Guard’ bringing together ‘Falk Eggers’ old and new to celebrate the hall.
The new Warden will join a wider team of 16 residential wardens, each responsible for delivering their own thriving hall community. The Warden will be responsible for managing a fantastic team of postgraduate researchers known as ‘Subwardens’ who help support the hall. They will also work alongside a Hall Committee consisting of 21 elected students and will work closely with a Hall Chair to shape the direction of the hall community and the committee.
Student Life is pivotal to the СÀ¶ÊÓƵ student experience and hall wardens are fundamental to the creative development, support, and progression of our thriving residential communities. This role presents an exciting opportunity to join the developing Student Life team as we build a sector-leading experience.
