Here at John Snow College, we have a dedicated team who are around to look after your welfare, whether that be walking you home after a night during fresher’s week, or even sitting with you for a tea and chat if you’re feeling home sick.

During Fresher’s Week, you will also meet the Welfare Representatives (WREPS) who will work alongside the welfare officers to ensure all events run smoothly and that you are looked after during a big and busy week!

Jess is your Senior Welfare Officer and Kieran, Katie and Tom are your Assistant Welfare Officers - they are also students at Snow! They will both have weekly office hours in College where they can listen to any worries, issues or questions you have throughout the year and talk about the best places to seek professional support and advice!

They will also be campaigning to promote a variety of welfare causes and raise awareness for causes relevant to all students in college!

MEET THE TEAM

Hi, I’m Jess (she/her), your Senior Welfare Officer for this year. I’m in my final year of studying Law, so catch me in the Billy B sometime! My role consists of making the majority of decisions regarding student welfare in our college, and I will be hosting drop-ins that anyone can attend if they need. I’ll also be running campaigns throughout the year to raise awareness of important issues students in our community may face, and will be working alongside the lovely Gini if there are any concerns. Can’t wait to welcome you all into our wonderful college!

Hi I’m Kieran (he/him), one of the Assistant Welfare Officers for this upcoming year. I am a massive musical theatre nerd and will most likely catch me dancing, singing or (occasionally!) teaching a crazy gang of tiny children for my degree! In my role, I help to support our senior welfare officer, run campaigns and offer signposting and drop-in sessions to help you feel welcomed and comfortable within John Snow. My drop-in hours will be a space where everyone can feel comfortable to speak to me about anything that’s on their mind. No struggle is too big as all I want to do is help you enjoy your time at university.

I'm Katie (she/her), one of your assistant welfare officers this year! I'll have a drop in session weekly, in which people can come with anything that's on their mind to talk about (whether big or small). Welfare will also run campaigns throughout the year so make sure to stay up to date with what's happening!

I'm Tom (he/him), and I'm one of your Assistant Welfare Officers! I'm around to point you in the direction of any support you need, or just to be a pair of ears to listen to any concerns you might have. Whatever you need, however small, I'd like to think I can offer at least something to help. I'll also be working with the other officers on various campaigns and events throughout the year, especially with college parenting, so stay tuned!
