Philosophy Society: Welfare Officer

As someone who believe in the power of human connection, I aim to continue the strong sense of community and cultivate the safe environment in Philosophy Society. I'd love to make it an even more welcoming, supportive and comforting space, where everyone feels assured to raise questions, discuss ideas and just enjoy a thoughtful or meaningful conversation. 

Being someone who is often described as warm and considerate, I'm here to listen, notice and encourage you whenever you need! Whether you just need an encouragement, someone to check in with, or have a deep chat (as we always do for the love of philosophy) I'm here for you! With all the intellectual and rigorous thoughts and thinking we have, I believe in how doing this together can be even more stimulating, fun and enjoyable! 🤗🥰✨🌿

Hi! My name is Sienna, and I would love to be your next Welfare Officer for Philosophy Society.

I am approachable, patient, and always happy to help. I want to be a friendly, supportive presence within the society. I'd love to be someone you feel comfortable turning to, whether you need advice, reassurance, or simply someone to listen.

I am adaptable and confident in handling a range of situations. I am a swimming teaching for children aged 3–12 so I have received safeguarding training and developed strong skills in responsibility, communication, and care. This role has strengthened my ability to listen without judgement and support others with empathy and understanding.

If I was elected, I would introduce ‘family systems’ within the society to help foster a more inclusive and welcoming environment. I have grown up in a very community-orientated family, and having such a strong support system has been invaluable to me. I would love to help create that same sense of belonging within our society, so that every member feels supported and included.

Thank you for your consideration, I would love to represent and support you as your Welfare Officer!
