Financial Wellbeing Manager

Are you passionate about supporting people to take control of their finances and improve their financial wellbeing? The University of Manchester Students Union are looking for a new Financial Wellbeing Manager to join an exciting new team and project designed to support student s in meeting their basic needs.

The Financial Wellbeing Manager will be joining the organisation at an exciting time, as we look to establish a brand-new Basic Needs Centre to support students in meeting their basic needs. They ll be responsible for the design and implementation of a new financial education and support offering as part of the new Basic Needs team, supporting students with issues relating to key issues like food, housing, and finance.

As Financial Wellbeing Manager, you ll support students to improve their financial literacy, equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need to better manage their finances, and ensure that they are well-informed about the support available to them. With an increasing cost-of-living, rising student rents, and wider financial challenges on the horizon, the Financial Wellbeing Manager will need to be proactive and adaptable as we aim to prevent students from reaching a financial crisis.

As this is a new and evolving project, there is a great deal of opportunity to develop the role and the financial support offering within the Basic Needs Centre.
