About the role

As a Notetaker, you'll support students by taking comprehensive lecture and supervision notes for disabled students in a format that suits them.

You will make notes both during in-person classes and from lecture recordings. 

You will maintain confidentiality and keep in regular contact with the Accessibility & Disability Resource Centre (ADRC). 

We are looking for applicants who are available for around 5+ hours per week during term-time. The hours of work vary, depending on student requirements. 

You will be registered with the University of Cambridge Temporary Employment Service.

About you

We are looking for applicants who: 

  • have an undergraduate degree, with a postgraduate degree being desirable
  • have excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • are able to maintain clear boundaries
  • can make detailed and accurate notes

Experience of working with disabled people is desirable. 

You must be based in Cambridge. You'll need to come to the ADRC to complete a right to work check.

You must be available until at least June 2025.

We particularly welcome applications from traditionally under-represented groups of the community.

This role is not open to current undergraduate students.
