What is Non-Medical Help (NMH)?

NMH is the term used to describe support workers who provide services to students with disabilities.  Any student with a mental health problem, long term illness or any other disability can access the Government’s Disabled Student’s Allowance (DSA). This fund covers any NMH support a student may need in order to undertake their course.

“It’s great to work at a university that I am a former student of; to relate to the students more. Amano is very supportive and I also love the regular CPD and coffee morning opportunities!”

Who is Amano?

For more than a decade, Amano has built a solid reputation as the go-to NMH provider for students in higher education. Amano provides specialist one-to-one support such as study skills and specialist mentoring. Amano’s consultants take a personal approach when working with their mentees, which means a hassle-free arrangement for all involved, focusing on the student and their personal outcomes, above all.

A job that matters
Working for Amano, you have the opportunity to positively impact someone’s life, doing work that makes a difference and feels rewarding.

Students experiencing barriers to their learning are able to achieve their full potential with the right support from a specialist NMH consultant.

Flexible work to suit your lifestyle
At Amano there are roles to suit everyone from part-time, remote work to full-time, in-person work, as well as many long-term career opportunities with increasing development and training requirements.

If you are still studying yourself or a recent graduate you could even get a job that means you stay on campus and continue to enjoy your existing lifestyle, by working with Amano.

Professional development alongside colleagues.
Amano offers all of its consultants Continued Professional Development (CPD) on topical inclusivity themes facing society (and particularly students) today, such as mental health, hate crime awareness and identity psychology. Amano consultants are also regularly invited to meetups for peer-to-peer networking within the team.

This ensures Amano Consultants are always on the pulse of what is happening in the world of student life and you would feel confident to deliver high quality support in your role.

Digital support system
Our digital systems include e-signatures and e-invoicing to minimise your admin time.

We also have an inhouse developed student mobile app that enables learners to monitor remaining support hours, approve timesheets, view their DSA documents and more – again making management of your admin and students’ sessions quicker and simpler.
