What are we looking for:
We are looking for the future senior staff leaders of the student movement, youth work and the third sector. Your journey will be shaped by your personal development plan, built around your future career ambitions and the areas in which you already excel. We’ll help you develop the competencies, experience, communities and skills necessary to grow through your first role into senior management.
You may be just finishing your time as an officer and looking for your next steps to work within students’ unions. You could be a society leader or community organiser wanting to work full time in the student movement. You might even be a few years out of education, or have never studied, but be excited about the potential to start a career in SUs.
We are looking for excellent candidates with an interest in developing a specialism across a range of areas we work on within students’ unions – including student voice, community development, data and insight and organisational development.
