Student Community Wardens

We have two Student Community Wardens who provide student perspectives in key groups such as the Durham University & Residents’ Forum.

They also support students in being positive citizens of Durham, and strengthen relationships between students and other members of the local community.

Key elements of the Warden role include:

Providing advice and guidance to livers-out on how to be a good neighbour, including managing noise levels, disposing of waste and recycling effectively, positive citizenship, and community involvement.
Working to support the resolution of local issues relating to the environment and the community.
Working with colleagues, residents’ groups and external partners such as Police University Liaison and Durham County Council’s Neighbourhood Wardens.
Promoting and encouraging the use of the Green Move Out scheme at the end of the year, as well as other University initiatives.
Liaising with the Students’ Union and College Common Rooms.

Hi, my name is Zainab, I'm a third year International Relations student from St Mary's and I'm half of the SCW's for this academic year! I'm really excited to provide a student perspective on key issues and foster positive relations between the University, students and wider Durham community!

We'd love to have a network of student volunteers who work with the Wardens and help build and maintain relationships with non-student residents, as well as supporting livers-out.
