We are looking for a new Chief Executive Officer to lead our highly successful independent charity. The Students’ Union supports over 15,000 students at Huddersfield University with representation, social activities and advice and support, and we are proud of the levels of engagement we have achieved over the last three years with the current strategic plan. Our new Chief Executive will have the opportunity to develop that strategy to the next stage and use data to gain a detailed insight into the diverse student community at Huddersfield University.
