East London Students' Union is a progressive charity that supports around 25,000 students that study at the University of East London. We are based in one of the most diverse boroughs in Europe and our membership proudly reflects the communities where we are based.

Our purpose is to support and empower our students by representing their views and providing a range of supportive services, events and activities to make university life the amazing experience it should be. We're now working to build a students' union that champions their aspirations and can deliver what's needed to make a difference. We're excited about this and have invested in several new posts to give us the expertise needed. We're currently reviewing our strategic plan and hope to launch our new plan in the coming months.

We are looking for an Executive Support Manager to provide high-level assistance to the Chief Executive and oversee the smooth running of our governance and leadership operations. This is a key role that combines strategic project support with the management of the senior leadership office. You'll lead on special projects commissioned by the Chief Executive, including strategic and operational planning support, coordinating research projects, and will be responsible for the administration of the Board of Trustees and its committees. You'll also coordinate diaries and workflows for the senior leadership team and student officers, ensuring the Students' Union's leadership remains effective and aligned.

To be a contender, you'll need proven experience in operational delivery, taking responsibility for tasks from an initial brief through to completion.

You should have experience servicing boards or senior committees, or of writing papers and reports for discussion and decision by others.

A big part of our work is about helping our student staff, student representatives and volunteers to develop; all our career staff are required to support this.
