It is an exciting time to join University of Manchester Students’ Union as we supercharge our international student engagement work. We believe that all students should have the opportunity to thrive during their time at the University. International students, often because of their intersecting identities, are more likely to face barriers that prevent them from making the most of university. We are committed to systematically identifying and dismantling these barriers to involvement with all the university has to offer.
We’re looking for someone who has excellent project management, partnership building and senior stakeholder engagement skills to lead on a new area of work. The postholder will be responsible for developing an insight led, student needs centred and operationally achievable international student engagement strategy. You need to ensure that an effective understanding and appreciation of inclusion practice is weaved throughout this work. It is essential that you take a proactive approach to develop your own knowledge of inclusive practice and use this to develop the knowledge and skills of colleagues across the Union in engaging International Students. There is a rough timeline outlined the responsibilities section for this role, and once appointed, we expect you to adjust and tweak as necessary.
This role is for you if you are passionate about international students in higher education. If you’re someone who likes taking a methodical approach but is also willing to experiment while the strategy is signed off, essentially taking an action learning approach to this, you will enjoy the level of flexibility and freedom in this role. If you’re someone who needs more structure than what is provided in this job description about what is required, unfortunately, you aren’t the right person. We’re looking for someone who is able to deliver this work independently and act autonomously, demonstrating their own work. We also want the postholder to be collaborative and work in partnership across the organisation, the university and wider partners. You will need to demonstrate how you’ll strike a balance between those expectations. If this sounds appealing, we want to hear from you.
The Students’ Union and the International Society merged in autumn 2023. The International Society is a student facing brand that encompasses the community building aspect of what we’d like to do as part of a broader engagement strategy. We have good levels of engagement from international students in societies and volunteering and those that run for election to be our full-time student officers. We’re not too sure about whether international students are getting what they need in terms of information and guidance on student life, whether there are any differences in educational outcomes and we think student jobs and employment will be important. We’ve got really good teams who do some of this work already, so you’ll be adding to services rather than creating new ones. This means you’ll really be working at the cutting edge of international student engagement work. How exciting!
This is a hybrid role (40% to 80% on site) depending on what’s needed to deliver outcomes in the role. There is good support around our senior leaders from the team, external coaching is available to anyone who requests it, and there are well developed insight, communications, events, student activities and representation functions. This is why it’s the right time for this role to join our organisation and do this work.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

At The Bridge, a London women’s charity, we need an impactful, pro-active, bold, ambitious, enterprising, strategic, and resilient leader who shares our passion to make a difference to be our next CEO. You’ll bring inspiring leadership to extend our profile, reach and impact.
The Bridge is a dynamic and impactful charity dedicated to supporting women's health and wellbeing in the heart of Southwark, London. We believe that everyone deserves access to good health, regardless of their background or circumstances. Unfortunately, health inequalities persist, exacerbated by recent global challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis.
Our vision is a society where equity is the norm, where all women’s voices are heard, and where their health and wellbeing rights are respected and met.
We work to get there by:
- co-creating spaces and opportunities for women to share their life experiences, where everyone’s voices are welcomed and heard;
- co-designing and running women-led transformative projects, connecting communities and dismantling individual and structural barriers to health and wellbeing;
- collaborating with like-minded organisations to amplify women’s voices to create change;
- providing services and facilities to support women’s health and wellbeing.
From our own building in Southwark, we operate a women-only gym and a vegetarian cafe, providing a supportive environment for women to prioritise their health and wellbeing. Our gym offers a range of fitness classes and personalised training, while our cafe serves delicious, nourishing food and drinks, with all profits supporting our charitable work. We also lease offices and meeting rooms as an additional source of income. We benefit from a highly committed staff team. We live our values, and uphold a strong commitment to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI).
