In terms of Welfare, you will act as the first port of call for any wellbeing issues that arise, be that from committee, cast, prod or creative teams. It is essential that you are approachable, empathetic, and caring in this role, as members of EUTCo need to feel like they can rely on you for support. It is also important to have a good knowledge of wellbeing services, as this role often requires signposting students to relevant resources. You will also be responsible for mediating any conflicts that arise, and must be discreet and sensitive in dealing with confidential issues.

Day-to-day responsibilities include:

• Regularly checking in on the welfare of our members, and leading meetings with individuals if necessary
• Organising and leading welfare check-in sessions for each committee member, at the beginning and end of each term
• Signposting and sharing mental health and wellbeing services to our members
• Being a ‘general’ committee member: attending events, meetings, rehearsals and workshops
• Reminder: you are not a therapist! Listen, support, and signpost.
