The Division of Student Affairs helps to transforms students' lives by supporting and inspiring the highest standards of student learning and success, community engagement and staff development. The Division is comprised of over 30 reporting units in six departments: Athletics and Recreation, Campus Services, Indigenous Affairs, Office of the Registrar, Student Recruitment and Global Engagement, and Student Services. The Student Services department includes a diverse range of services including Health, Counselling, Residence, the Centre for Accessible Learning, the Office of Student Life, Academic Advising, and International Student Services.
Residence Services, a unit within the division of Student Affairs, provides accommodation, programming and education to the on-campus student community, in addition to providing a summer conference operation for off-campus customers. Residence Life and Education, a department within Residence Services aims to provide students with a safe and welcoming community where they are supported in their learning and personal development.
Reporting to the Associate Director, Residence Life and Education, and to the Student Conduct Officer, the Neighbourhood Manager is one of five front-line positions having leadership responsibilities both within an assigned residence neighbourhood and in collaboration with the Residence Services leadership team across residence. The NM provides leadership and oversight in the direct management of a residence community comprised of approximately 400-600 students, as well as fulfilling residence wide responsibilities in areas such as emergency and crisis response; student conduct and follow-up; reporting of facilities issues; and hiring and training of student staff (and volunteers). The NM is guided by the mission, values and priorities of Residence Services, focusing on the development of a positive living environment that promotes academic success, leadership development, citizenship and engagement, personal growth, respect, and inclusion among student staff and residence students.
As part of their organization-wide responsibilities, the NM provides front-line after-hours emergency and crisis response on evenings and weekends (during assigned shifts); oversees and implements student conduct and follow-up processes; and assists the Residence Life and Education team in the hiring and training of all student-staff. Emergency response includes, but is not limited to issues involving high level student mental health, escalating student and community conduct and conflict issues; harassment and bullying, risk assessment, medical and/or facilities emergencies, and front desk operations
During the academic year (September to April) the NM participates in a work shift rotation on a 5-week cycle from September to April, consisting of morning, afternoon and night shifts.
During May to August and holiday closures, the shift rotation may be adapted to meet operational needs. During the summer the NM also assists in the day-to-day oversight of evening and weekend front desk and conference guest operations as required, as well as providing emergency response.
