There is something very special about our students. Many have overcome multiple systemic barriers simply to get to university. This often means that they require support and guidance to get the most from their time at university and achieve their potential when they leave. This has been compounded by the Coronavirus pandemic, so never has it been more important to provide effective support.

Our potential is huge and with the right leadership, we can now make a great difference to many people’s lives. We must appoint somebody motivated and driven by that aim. The future is about innovation. We have started to innovate with our sector-leading school rep system. But we know we can do so much more.

We are seeking an individual who can lead, influence, and add value to our senior leadership team. 

We are open-minded about if you have worked in an SU before or not but do expect that you have comparable experience lead at least one of the following functions: Representation, advocacy, community engagement, communications and/or strategic leadership.

We want you to build, lead and inspire a high performing team, any relevant experience of doing this would be highly advantageous.

We strongly encourage people who have experienced or addressed racism, homophobia, sexism, ableism or any other form of discrimination affects people’s lives to apply.

Whatever your background and identity, you must be prepared to make appropriate interventions that support more inclusivity and challenge such behaviours when you see them and be able to support others to do the same. Having some of your own experiences of overcoming barriers and/or supporting others to overcome them would be desirable.
