Warden

Opening Date
Closing Date/Time
31 March 2025 – 12:00

Christ Church is seeking to appoint a Warden to support the Junior Censor, Welfare Manager, and the wider welfare Team in promoting the welfare of Christ Church students and maintaining a positive academic and social environment for all.

This position will involve helping students to understand and resolve problems, managing minor discipline matters directly when relevant and reporting more serious misdemeanours and referring to senior staff when appropriate. This fixed-term post is an excellent opportunity for a graduate student to develop experience of pastoral responsibility in a Higher Education setting and play a fulfilling role in a friendly college.

The Warden will act as a ‘friendly face’ for students by being accessible and a welcoming presence at events, and by maintaining good relations with the JCR and GCR, and act as a channel for communication between senior members of the community and students, including through service as member of the College Welfare Forum (CWF).

The Warden will be a matriculated graduate student at the University of Oxford in 2024/2025, with at least one further year of study remaining. Proven ability to work effectively and constructively, both independently and as part of a team is essential. 

For more information, including how to apply, please see the attached Further Particulars.
