Job Description

Join Our Trustee Board

We’re looking for three External Trustees to join our Board and help shape the future of our Students’ Union.

Are you looking for a meaningful way to volunteer your expertise? Do you want to make a real difference in a fast-paced, inclusive, and student-focused environment? If so, we’d love to hear from you - or from someone you’d like to recommend.

We’re particularly interested in people with experience in:

  • Finance
  • HR
  • Legal
  • Strategic leadership

Experience within a Students’ Union or Higher Education setting would be valuable, but is not essential - we welcome applicants from a wide range of backgrounds who can bring fresh perspectives to our work.

What’s involved?

As a Trustee, you’ll play a key role in guiding the organisation and ensuring we deliver for our students. The commitment includes:

  • Approximately 4 Board meetings per year
  • Around 4 sub-committee meetings per year

Trustees are appointed for a four-year term, giving you time to build relationships, develop a deep understanding of the organisation, and see the impact of your contribution.

Interested?

Applications close on Friday 26 June 2026.

If you’d like an informal conversation before applying, or have any questions, please contact Ryan Lucas, Head of Student Representation & Partnerships, at r.lucas@bathspa.ac.uk.
