Welfare Officer

I believe I would be great in the role as I always aim to create a safe and supportive environment for people around me, an important part of that is being open minded and promoting inclusivity. I am always up for a friendly chat if anyone has anything on their mind or wants someone to reach out to.

 

I love Medieval fashion, I try and look out for it in the Disney movies I watch as many hint to the time period being an inspiration for dresses etc., the era also fascinates me because of the architecture, especially Medieval castles and churches.

I am standing because I am interested in getting more involved with the Medieval Society and the role of a welfare officer seems to be interesting.

Hi, I'm Eloise! I am a final year History undergrad, specialising in medieval history. I am standing because I would love to get more involved with the society and help to make sure all events are inclusive, accessible, and welcoming. I am passionate both about medieval history, and the promotion of a friendly, fun, and safe environment wherein everyone is able to enjoy and participate in our shared interest! I hope to be an approachable figure who is able to help with any queries or questions, however big or small.

I am a mature student who graduated in history from UCL in 1984 and am now doing a Master's at UCL. I have been working in publishing for 35 years and in that time have been a team leader who was responsible for the well being of my team ensuring they could cope with the stresses of life and work. I also have a daughter who is recovering from mental health issues so feel I am well placed in understanding and empathising with students who are struggling. I am a good listener and approachable and am able to offer advice and help to anyone who needs it.  I am passionate about the Medieval Society and want to see it grow and thrive and I'd like to help the leadership team do this.
