HUS WELFARE TEAM
The welfare team are here to support anyone with any issues throughout the year, but we’re also generally available for a chat or a moan at any point; we’re not counsellors, we’re students, so whether it’s an annoying family argument, a desperate craving for a cookie or a much more serious issue, we can and will find a way to help. Please do ring us if you have a problem and feel like you want to talk to someone, we’re happy to listen and we never want anyone to feel embarrassed! The contact number is: 07876 317 717 We can reply to calls and texts from 9am – 7pm every day during term time. You can also email us at hus-welfare@homerton.cam.ac.uk, and you’ll be seeing us around college, so do come and say hi! Alternatively, you can use our Contact page to request welfare supplies.STUDENT HEALTH ADVISOR
We also have a Student Health Advisor that is employed by College. For more complex matters, she may refer you to your doctor or other medical services in Cambridge, but is a great first step and can help relay any issues directly to your tutor or DoS. Her contact details are: Email: sc606@cam.ac.uk Phone: 01223 747248 If you want to book an appointment to see her, please click here.College Counsellor
We also have our very own counsellor in Homerton. Counselling offers you an opportunity to talk over any troubling issues in a private and relaxed setting with someone who plays no other role in your College life. If you have a personal or work-related problem, or if you are feeling unhappy, anxious or depressed, we encourage you to talk to Catherine. Catherine trained in a psychotherapist with the Cambridge Society for Psychotherapy. During her training she worked at the University Counselling Service. Her contact details are: Email: cs780@homerton.cam.ac.uk. Find out more about her on her page of the Homerton College website, here.TUTOR
Your college tutor is there for your pastoral needs and can often give advice if you are struggling with work or have an issue with college accommodation or buildings by contacting the right person in college on your behalf. They can also recommend solutions to getting to lectures if you’re having difficulties. If, for any reason, you do not want to approach your tutor alone one of us will be happy to facilitate a meeting and have as much or as little involvement as you like. You can also contact the Senior Tutor, Penny Barton, at pb29@cam.ac.uk, or in her office, CAV 102.Porters & On-Duty Tutor
For out-of-hours or emergency care, you can contact the Porters’ Lodge at 01223 747111, and they will arrange emergency medical care, or put you in contact with the On-Duty Tutor. Please note: if you call an ambulance, please let the Porters’ Lodge know ASAP so they can prepare the site for access for the vehicle.SU Welfare
