In addition to physical health support, this role plays an active part in promoting students' social and emotional well-being through regular check-ins, small group discussions, and structured wellness activities. This role requires sound judgment, strong communication, and the ability to respond calmly to both routine and time-sensitive situations while contributing to a supportive and inclusive residential environment.
