represents its members and adheres to the principles of democracy by
increasing engagement in the Students? Union and helping students to
ensure their voice is heard across the University. Secondly, to
achieve this, we need to develop outstanding student leaders and this
role is fundamental in providing the support, training, and
development our leaders require for them to make an impact on our
campus and in society as they move forward in their career.
This role is perfect for someone who is proactive, displays strong

students and ready to hit the ground running. You will have a good

profit sectors who bring transferable skills and are motivated to lead
a team that has the potential to make a significant impact in
students? lives. You will need the soft skills to develop effective
and supportive relationships, identifying resources and strategic
