This role is vital to ensuring our organisations are well-governed, future-focused and capable of delivering real impact across the student movement.

Who We’re Looking For
We’re seeking to recruit the widest possible pool of talent across all roles. Whether or not you’ve held a board or committee position before, if you bring relevant expertise, lived experience, or a fresh perspective, we’d love to hear from you.
Some of the qualities and backgrounds we’re keen to see include:
- Financial oversight, audit or risk management
- Human resources, recruitment, or EDI expertise
- Legal, strategic or governance experience
- Communications, campaigning or public affairs knowledge
- Experience within the charity, education or membership sectors
- A collaborative and values-driven mindset
We’re totally committed to equality of opportunity for all. We welcome applications from individuals regardless of their age, disability, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation. We particularly welcome applications from black, asian and minority ethnic candidates, as they are currently under-represented as committee members and within the voluntary sector more broadly.

Volunteering at NUS is a chance to:
- Help shape the student movement and the future of education
- Influence decisions that impact millions of students
- Work alongside experienced, passionate and values-led colleagues
- Develop your leadership and governance skills
- Make a tangible contribution to social change
We offer a full induction, ongoing support and cover all reasonable expenses — including travel and accommodation when needed.
