Introdu
“RAs are one of the pillars that build the
community in halls as you’re the first faces you see moving
in, to the last when you move out. In between this time we host
events for residents, provide care and support and generally maintain
discipline to make the halls a community rather than a bunch of individuals.”
Amelia, Resident Advisor
44 DRAFT
uction
The decision to become a Resident Advisor is not one that should be made lightly. It is a demanding,
challenging, and rewarding role. The Resident Assistant role is an opportunity for you to build your
leadership skills, as well as being an ally and role model for fellow University of London students. Please
consider your commitment carefully as you begin this process. In order to fulfil the expectations and
responsibilities listed in this application, you must recognise that this position should be your primary
out-of-class obligation.
Coming to university is a formative experience for every student, no matter their age; but many of our
residents are at an especially critical period in their personal and social development. A student’s time in
our halls may shape elements of their identity and lifestyle for their entire adult life. So the interactions of
Resident Advisors with individuals and with the wider hall community can carry tremendous immediate
and long-lasting impact. And it is in this considerable responsibility that the real rewards of the role are
found.
Approaching the Resident Advisor role with commitment and enthusiasm will help ensure that your time
as a Resident Advisor will be one of the most exciting, fulfilling, and memorable times of your life:
• you will build mutually supportive relationships;
• you will become a valued, respected, trusted member of a community of young adults;
• you will develop highly desirable transferable skills;
• you might save someone’s life; you will probably stop someone from dropping out of university; and
you will definitely contribute to the happiness and wellbeing of your hall-mates.
Should you decide to apply for one of the Resident Advisor vacancies, I wish you the very best of luck
with your application.

Resident Advisor
“Being an RA has been an
extremely rewarding experience
for me. I have been provided with
various opportunities to develop my
leadership and teamwork skills. From
providing pastoral support to implementing
disciplinary measures, everyday on the job has been
training me to become a more empathetic, patient and
confident person.”
Yatana, Resident Advisor

What is it like to be Resident Advisor?
As a Resident Advisor (RA), you will be in a privileged position to build the community in your hall
and hopefully, positively influence the lives of your fellow students. This position comes with a lot
of responsibility, but equally can bring you a lot of satisfaction and offer the chance for personal
and professional development.
RAs serve as role models, peer counsellors, advocates, policy educators and enforcers,
programmers and leaders. The primary goal of the RA is to support the Warden in the
development of an environment that is conducive to the academic and personal growth of all.
You should always see yourself as a mentor and a resource for residents in your hall. You are there
to provide them with assistance in their personal, interpersonal and academic concerns. RAs must
be role models and demonstrate strength of character, good judgment, flexibility, responsibility,
involvement and commitment to student life and the University.
Following successful completion of the recruitment process, you will be required to attend a
comprehensive training programme, the vast part of which will take place before the Arrival Day.
Your attendance and participation are compulsory, and they are conditions of your voluntary
contract.
The first big opportunity to make an impact on the hall’s life is the Arrival Day which will
take place on Sunday 12th September for the 2021/22 academic year. On this day, you will be
interacting with the new residents and their families, providing them with your assistance and
reassurance. Together with your teammates and Warden, you will have developed a vibrant
programme of social events that the residents will be able to participant in on this day and the
following few weeks. September and October and normally the busiest times for the RA team
as this is when people will form their friendships using the social events platform that you will
have prepared. This process will happen again, on a smaller scale, at the beginning of the 2nd term
(January/February).
The 3rd term is mostly focused on providing residents with a relaxing environment that is
conducive to studying and reducing exam stress. The focus here is on study workshops,
mindfulness sessions and whatever you can think of that will help the residents through this
stressful time.
Throughout the year, you will be required to participate in the duty rota where you will be
available as the first point of contact for any student relating matter, such as wellbeing concerns
or discipline issues. For the duration of your RA contract, the position of the RA takes priority over
all other non-academic commitments. The duty will include office hours (where you are available
for residents to talk face-to-face), building checks and attending any events put up by you and
your team that night.
As you can see, as an RA you will play a crucial role in ensuring that the hall is as close to a ‘home
away from home for your fellow residents and a place where they, and you, can thrive and
develop.

13Pastoral care and welfare
For some residents, university can be a daunting and challenging time in their lives. Residents will
require varying degrees of support throughout their time at University and we pride ourselves
on the quality of pastoral care and welfare support that we are able to provide to our residents.
Resident Advisors play a critical role in helping the Warden to identify any issues that a resident
may be facing and to be a part of the pastoral care offered thereafter. We provide Resident
Advisors with comprehensive training to develop the skills that they will need and they continue
to work on further developing their skills and resources with the Warden and team throughout
the year.

“The role of
Resident Advisor has
developed my interpersonal
skills such as communication and
management. It allows me to enhance my
leadership skills through taking up responsibilities
and organising events. Additionally, I have chances to
meet people from different backgrounds.”
Tiffany, Resident AdvisorDiscipline and conflict resolution
At times, the Warden may need to refer to the Disciplinary Policy to deal with instances of minor
or serious misconduct. Resident Advisors will often be the first to identify disciplinary issues that
arise within the community and assist the Warden with the disciplinary process. For the most
part, Resident Advisors are able to deal with minor misconduct issues in an informal way through
dialogue – setting out the expectations of the Warden’s Team to ensure that the hall remains a
safe, secure and cohesive environment for all that live and work there. Similarly, Resident Advisors
gain training and practical experience of helping to resolve conflicts that may arise between
residents throughout the year and help residents navigate the sometimes challenging nuances of
living in a larger community than they are previously used to.
• supporting the identities of your residents, regardless of personal beliefs or cultural norms
• listening without judgement or ridicule
Community building
Building a sense of community is at the heart of all that we do in the Intercollegiate Halls.
Creating an environment that is safe and secure and provides every resident with a ‘home
away from home’ starts from the very moment that a resident is offered a place at their hall
and Resident Advisors play a critical role in achieving this. Some of the ways in which Resident
Advisors contribute to this include:
• Planning social events that allow as many resident to participate as possible, particularly
at the start of the academic year;
• Identifying and reaching out to residents that may otherwise go unnoticed to ensure that
the wonderful diversity within in each hall is understood, appreciated and celebrated;
• Getting to know as many residents as possible, especially those who the Resident Advisor
may be directly responsible for (e.g. those in their section of the hall building);
• Supporting the Hall Association Committee to build a shared vision and organise events
throughout the year.
15Time commitment
On average, Resident Advisors should expect to perform around 28 hours of voluntary work in a
week*. These hours will be used on:
• programming;
• team meetings, one on one meetings;
• interactions with residents;
• duty.
These hours are based on the need of the hall and may include both weekday and weekend hours. Please
note that the residence hall environment does encounter peak times including opening, closing and
transition periods. That said, some weeks more than 28 hours may be needed.
A Resident Advisor is on duty each day of the week (referred to as the Duty RA), as follows:
Weekdays (Monday – Friday) 18:00 – 08:00 14 hours
Weekends (Saturday & Sunday)
08:00 – 08:00 24 hours
Bank Holidays and University Closure Days
Tier 4 students
Students who are in the United Kingdom on a ‘General student visa (Tier 4)’
(https://www.gov.uk/tier-4-general-visa) may only be on duty up to a maximum of 20 hours per week
during term-time*. Please consider this carefully if you are a Tier-4 visa holder and the impact that this
may have on you.
The maximum number of Resident Advisors on a ‘General student visa (Tier 4)’ that can be appointed in
each hall at any given time is as follows:
Connaught Eleanor Rosa Handel International Lillian Nutford
College Hall Garden Halls
Hall House Mansions Hall Penson Hall House
Maximum
number of 2 2 2 7 1 3 2 2
Tier-4 RAs
*In order to comply with the legal requirements for these students, Tier-4 students will perform fewer
shifts during term time and more shifts during University vacations; conversely, the other Resident
Advisors in the same hall will be allocated more shifts during term time but fewer shifts during
vacations.
16Outside/additional work (including
employment)
Participating in leadership roles as well as work experience play an important part of a student’s
education experience. Furthermore, the University acknowledges that a student may need to take
paid employment for financial reasons. However, since the Resident Advisor role must be the primary
opportunity taken, it is paramount that participation in aforementioned activities not be excessive in
time required outside the hall and must not come in conflict with the role. Permission must be granted
by the Warden, if employment outside of this opportunity is desired.
If outside commitments/work has been approved and begins to interfere with the ability of a Resident
Advisor to carry out their role effectively, the RA will need to choose between the RA role and the
additional role.
“The RA role has
helped me grow as
a person. Acting as a role
model for whom students look
up to challenged me to be more
patient, welcoming and compassionate.
You also have the opportunity to interact with
a variety of students and I’ve often found myself
learning from them or enjoying the stories that they
have to tell. Overall, it’s a rewarding job where you can see the
impact of your work everyday.”
Jean, Resident Advisor
17Training and key dates
To enable Resident Advisors to carry out the role effectively, a comprehensive programme of compulsory
training is provided over the course of the year.

resolution, drug awareness, health & safety, safeguarding, suicide prevention, community building,
social programming, equality & diversity, LGBTQ+ awareness, report writing etc. In light of recent
government guidance relating to social distancing and COVID-19, RA Training 2021 will be delivered in

extremely valuable life skills that this role will
provide. You will learn how to stay calm in high-
pressure situations, and are given incredible tools
and training from UoL to deal with any situation that
this role will entail, and work as a cohesive team.”
Tom, Resident Advisor
19Benefits, remuneration and fees
• Successful applicants will be offered a standard single room in the Hall that they are appointed with
an 80% rebate of the 2021/22 charges, subject to the standard Licence Agreement applicable to all
student residents.
• Resident Advisors may have the opportunity to upgrade their accommodation, at the Warden’s
discretion, and will be charged the difference in fees alongside the 25% charge for their
accommodation. The number of rooms available for upgrade are limited.
• Resident Advisors will be invoiced and expected to make all payments within the stipulated time. Any
accrued debt could result in the Resident Advisor’s contract being terminated.
• Resident Advisors will not be offered employment contracts with the University since these are
voluntary positions where subsidised accommodation is provided in recognition of duties performed.
No other payment is made and since these are voluntary positions, Resident Advisors will not be
members of staff of the University of London.
• Resident Advisors will be expected to agree to and sign a Code of Conduct upon appointment. Any
failure to adhere to the Code of Conduct and/or the general hall regulations will be reason for the
Resident Advisor’s volunteer position to be terminated.
• The accommodation (including all standard meals in the dining hall, in a catered hall of residence)
is in a large standard single room in the hall where you will be carrying out the duties of Resident
Advisor.
• Appointed applicants will be required to pay the usual deposit required.
• All Resident Advisors are required to move in to their hall starting from Friday 27th August 2021 (after
10:00) and no later that Monday 30th August 2021 (before 16:00).
COVID-19 adjustments
The COVID-19 global pandemic has altered a lot of the ways in which we work in society – including
the Intercollegiate Halls. Whilst the University has and will continue to address the challenges raised by
COVID-19, including the Resident Advisor role, all applicants are encouraged to very carefully consider the
impact that the pandemic may have on their health, studies and social life when applying for this role.
It would be impossible to predict what the 2021/22 academic year will look like. However, factors
including, but not limited to, future national lockdowns or public health restrictions within the
hall may at various points in the year, result in a greater emphasis on some aspects of the role (e.g.
disciplinary matters and welfare support) than others. Whilst we very much hope to return to some
sense of ‘normality’ in the near future, - e.g. where Resident Advisors can support Wardens in traditional
community building activities - we are unable to make any assurances, whilst the pandemic continues.
20“The often asked interview question
of “ describe a situation when…” can
always be answered using an experience
from your time as an RA as the role covers
most imaginable desirable attributes on a job
specification (time management, team work, crisis
response, event management, pastoral care, budgeting,
mental health support, understanding of building
management and conflict resolution.”
Emily, Resident Advisor

22“Being an RA has been one of

new students coming to live at UoL halls. It has
also been a great opportunity for personal growth
through thinking deeply, problem solving, reflecting
and discussing with the team any issues that were more
challenging.”
Yiorgos, Resident Advisor
23The Warden’s Team
Warden’s Team at the Intercollegiate
Halls of Residence
Each of the Intercollegiate Halls has a Warden: a resident member of staff responsible for student pastoral
care and welfare, discipline and conflict resolution, and development of the community and social life
within the hall.
Resident Advisors support the Warden and help to promote a supportive and harmonious living
environment in Hall. The team plays a vital role in welcoming students primarily in September/October
and offers help and guidance throughout the year with problems such as academic difficulties, health or
emotional issues, social concerns, and disputes between residents.
Wardens are usually employed full-time as academic or senior administrative staff within the University
of London and are responsible to the Residential Life Manager.
Resident Advisors are students who are not employed by the University but undertake their duties on a
voluntary basis in return for discounted accommodation in the Hall.
“Being
an RA is a
big confidence
builder. The skills that
you have (some of which
you acquire in an RA training)
are put to a test when you become
an RA. You quickly learn to apply them
whilst executing your RA duties and as a result
you become much more confident in yourself, not least
because the skills you need as an RA are directly applicable to
areas outside the RA domain.”
