Thank you for your interest in the role of Activities & Engagement Coordinator at Solent Students’ Union. We support and represent over 6,500 students at our city-centre location in Southampton and campuses in the surrounding areas, helping our members to have an amazing experience during their time with us.
As Activities & Engagement Coordinator, you will be responsible for delivering an exciting and innovative programme within our active student groups as well as contributing to the significant growth of strong student communities at Solent Students’ Union. The role will be vital to providing students with the support, skills and experience that is needed to transform our student groups. We are looking for an individual who has the passion to develop strong student communities, who possesses exceptional people skills and are passionate about working with and developing volunteers.
Student activities are one of the defining features of university life. They offer a range of opportunities to students: to meet and socialise with people of similar interests; to develop personal interests and learn new ones; and develop skills and practical experience in organising events and activities, leading others, and managing finances.
The successful individual will possess experience and enthusiasm to work within a fast paced, dynamic and exciting organisation and understands what a vibrant and exciting student experience is for Solent students. The Activities & Engagement Coordinator will have an excellent knowledge of current themes and issues within Higher Education, in particular relation to student opportunities and has the passion to support, coach and mentor students to ensure they achieve success.
The benefit to students is immense. Our students cite their involvement in societies as a reason for not just enjoying their time at university but even for continuing with studies, while those who take part in society committees have developed new skills and confidence.
