3.4. Management of roles and responsibilities in a Team

When working as a member of a team, it is important to recognize your responsibilities towards the team and its members. The specific tasks you undertake will depend on your role within the team. Here are some examples of potential roles and their associated responsibilities:

• Coordinator: This role involves ensuring that tasks are carried out and agreements are honored within the team.
• Network Liaison: As a team member in this role, you are responsible for maintaining contacts within the professional network.
• Knowledge Management: This role involves keeping up to date with developments and best practice examples relevant to the team.
• Confidential Advisor: In this role, a team member serves as an approachable point of contact for students in need of support.

It is crucial to remember that as a team member, you should be a trusted confidant for your fellow team members. It can be challenging for individuals to express their feelings of inadequacy, so it’s important to foster an environment where everyone understands that our success or failure is shared as a team.
