A Sub-Warden vacancy has arisen at Telford Hall – a friendly hall with a fantastic sense of hall spirit. Telford Hall offers residents a ‘home from home’ environment. Applications for this exciting opportunity are invited from doctoral researchers only – ideally with a substantial amount of time remaining on their programme.

Duties: Telford Hall Subwardens assist the Warden, Mark Dabney, in the day to day running of the hall. This may involve pastoral, disciplinary and administrative duties as well as being involved in social aspects of hall life. The successful applicants will be part of a team which provides out-of-hours emergency cover in a hall of 498 students and which helps to ensure the smooth running of the hall.
