The role primarily serves to support the pastoral team, especially the SRs, by looking out for the team’s socio-emotional wellbeing as well as facilitating relevant training and opportunities for the student leaders. In this role I assisted and supported the Head of Hall, Deputy Head of Hall, as well as the broader staff, student leaders, and community at Ursula Hall. In this role I also built a rapport with the both the SRs as well as the community through informal discussions as well as presence at events including Formal Dinners and Social Nights. From an administrative perspective, I assisted with event planning involving Functions on Campus, risk assessments, set-up, decoration, and pack-up. I also chaired or minuted pastoral meetings alongside my fellow Community Coordinator. In this role I wrote various reports and risk assessments as well as maintained and communicated through the Halls social media pages and university email. This role also involved maintaining financial reports and budgeting as I was entrusted to undertake transactions on behalf of the pastoral team. The Community Coordinator role also has an off-hours component where SRs would contact me to ask for advice on how to approach a situation or assist them in person. Situations I have been involved in a supportive role include mental health crises, first aid, fire alarm, noise complaints and disruptive residents. During this year, duties also extended to responding to the Covid-19 pandemic through sign creation, facilitation and coordination of isolation rooms, meal deliveries, and implementation of current Covid-19 procedures at a hall level.
