Disability Support

Unitemps are here for every student at Staffordshire University all year round. Working closely with the Student Support and Well-Being team, we employ Student Support Workers to work with students who may be facing difficulties while studying. Whether that be with their academic work or with their mental health, Unitemps are here to help.

We offer students two main types of support whilst studying, working with a Specialist Mentor (ASC & Mental Health) or a Specialist Study Skills Tutor (ASC & SpLD) or both.

A Specialist Mentor will regularly support you with:

Motivation and setting goals
Mindfulness and relaxation
Managing expectations about appropriate levels of study
Creating appropriate study patterns
Finding the tools and mindset to achieve personal academic goals
Study-related stress or anxiety management
Time management, organisational skills, and study/exam preparation skills
Understanding your illness and managing symptoms, signs, and triggers

Specialist Study Skills Tutor (ASC & SpLD (Specific Learning Difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia))

A Specialist Study Skills Tutor will regularly support you with:

Structuring essays and other written work
Critical and reflective thinking and research skills
Comprehension, summarising, referencing and note–taking
Developing and implementing proofreading strategies
Assisting with time management and other academic-related organisational skills

After University?

When coming to the end of their studies and entering the world of work, we aim to maximise the student’s opportunities by working with our Careers Service and Student Support Team, offering extra guidance to ensure that they are fully equipped when applying for jobs.
