Randstad: agile support for evolving needs - strengthening your Student Services ecosystem
Randstad Student Support serves as your strategic partner, offering a scalable portfolio that seamlessly integrates with your internal teams to protect both student retention and staff wellbeing.
Strengthening your internal teams: specialist staffing solutions
We recognise that service resilience often hinges on having the right people in place, especially during high-demand periods. We can help to rapidly fill essential roles within your internal Student Services teams.
- Expert roles: We provide recruitment for both full and part-time positions, including Disability Advisers, Wellbeing Advisers, and Mental Health practitioners.
- Flexible capacity: Whether you face an unfilled vacancy, maternity cover, or an unexpected backlog, our staffing solutions ensure continuity of service and reduce the risk of internal staff burnout.
- Proven integration: Our staff are noted for their ability to pick up systems quickly, support existing backlogs, and contribute positively to overall team functioning and process refinement.
"Both advisers we have recruited through Randstad have been excellent. The additional capacity has had a clear impact in helping us provide more timely support to students and progress reasonable adjustments, which is critical for accessibility and student experience."

A comprehensive support ecosystem
Beyond staffing, our "one-stop shop" model provides the specialist interventions necessary to ensure no student falls through the cracks.
- Mental health & counselling support: We provide access to a national network of over 1,000 accredited mental health professionals. We offer counselling in 10+ different languages, helping students find the cultural affinity essential for effective support.
- Specialist NMH support: We deliver the full spectrum of Non-Medical Help (NMH), including British Sign Language interpreting. Our flexible delivery - online, in-person, or hybrid, includes "out of hours" provision for students who need 1:1 support outside the traditional 9 to 5 window.
- Neurodiversity employability coaching: We help prepare specific student cohorts for the transition into work with targeted coaching. Feedback shows our graduate employability programme led to an 88% increase in confidence for job applications among neurodivergent students.
