Due to increased investment from the university we’re really excited to announce the recruitment for the role of Democracy Coordinator.
Who we are
Part business, part charity, part membership body – students’ unions are all seriously fun places to work. They are organisations in their own right. Professionally run, but different. Professional teams support elected student leaders to make change, improve lives and fulfill potential; we help make it happen.
About the job
We're looking for a Democracy Coordinator to help support and grow Arts SU's democratic spaces. You'll play a key role in making sure students are involved, informed and empowered through forums, elections and other democratic activities. You'll oversee our Ideas Platform and work closely with sabbatical officers and teams across UAL to keep these spaces student-led and relevant. You'll also be the operational lead for our student elections - from technical set-up to support candidates and making sure everything runs fairly and transparently. You'll help develop policies, run training sessions, promote democratic engagement, and be the go-to person for students with questions about how the SU represents students. It's a varied role that puts students at the hear of decision-making while making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
Who we are looking for
We want someone who's organised, flexible and great at juggling different projects. You should have experience with governance or working in democratic or community settings, and you'll need to be comfortable explaining processes in simple ways. Communication is key - you'll need to be confident with communicating with diverse groups of students and staff both, face-to-face and in writing. We want someone who's positive, approachable and a team player who is happy to collaborate. You'll understands the importance of what equality and diversity means for our students to help create welcoming spaces for everyone as well as ensuring they feel included and heard.
Why apply?
Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring and creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces.

- a summer 4-day working week - we have a four day working week during the months of July & August

- Birthday Leave
- 2 days of Volunteering Leave

- Flexible/ hybrid working arrangements
