A global higher education leader in innovative teaching, research and public service, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill consistently ranks as one of the nation’s top public universities. Known for its beautiful campus, world-class medical care, commitment to the arts and top athletic programs, Carolina is an ideal place to teach, work and learn.

One of the best college towns and best places to live in the United States, Chapel Hill has diverse social, cultural, recreation and professional opportunities that span the campus and community.

University employees can choose from a wide range of professional training opportunities for career growth, skill development and lifelong learning and enjoy exclusive perks for numerous retail, restaurant and performing arts discounts, savings on local child care centers and special rates on select campus events. UNC-Chapel Hill offers full-time employees a comprehensive benefits package, paid leave, and a variety of health, life and retirement plans and additional programs that support a healthy work/life balance.

Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit

Thrive@Carolina Campus Hubs (Hubs), which includes Academic Advising, a collaborative and innovative approach to deliver holistic support to undergraduates from admission through graduation. We represent a deliberately integrated effort that embraces delivering services in a manner that welcomes experimentation, is scalable and focuses on continuous improvement. Our mission is to champion students’ individual stories through purposeful interactions so that they achieve their academic, personal, and post-UNC goals. Anchored in the belief that we serve a population in which every student does not need the same support or know the same information, Hubs seek to partner with students as they unlock their potential, activate their plans, secure their opportunities, and cultivate their community. Nestled within the College of Arts & Sciences, Hubs are comprised of ~60 full- and part-time personnel and serve students in a variety of campus locations.

Position Summary

The Office of Undergraduate Education seeks a passionate, committed professional to join one of the Thrive@Carolina Campus Hubs, comprised of individuals dedicated to providing student-centered, holistic and seamlessly delivered support to students from acceptance through graduation. Reporting to an Assistant Director, Thrive Advisors provide direct student support to an assigned caseload of students as they unlock their potential, activate their plans, secure their opportunities and build their community. During each academic year, Thrive Advisors will also teach up to 4 sections of a 1-credit hour course, First-Year Thriving, and therefore will need to meet the minimum SACS Accreditation requirements for instruction. Hubs staff bring positive energy and a collaborative mindset to their everyday work, partnering with campus staff, faculty and one another to eliminate barriers to student success and ensure all students thrive. Regular, reliable, and non-disruptive attendance is an essential job duty, as is the ability to create and maintain collegial, harmonious working relationships with others. The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to the liberal arts, a keen understanding and appreciation of utilizing an intersectional framework to support students and demonstrated experience maximizing student engagement through highly effective communications and programming.

This is a 12-month, full-time, EHRA Non-Faculty position which will require some evening hours and may have non-standard work hours.

Minimum Education and Experience Requirements

Relevant post-Baccalaureate degree required (or foreign degree equivalent); for candidates demonstrating comparable independent educational or instructional activities related to the delivery of student advising and counseling or student personnel services, will accept a relevant Bachelor’s degree (or foreign degree equivalent) and 3 or more years of relevant experience in substitution.

Two years of professional direct student support and programming experience.
