An exciting opportunity has arisen for an individual to join our newly established Student Communities Team based in Sunderland. The team supports a wide range of student leadership activity, including officer support, societies, student representation, volunteering, and campaigns.

The successful candidate will be responsible for working with a wide range of student leaders to mobilise the community organising model for a particular faculty within the University of Sunderland, harnessing their talents and enhancing student skills development.

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain a variety of skills through being involved in a varied role across different areas of Student Engagement at Sunderland Students’ Union.

We have undertaken a Democracy and Governance Review to revitalise the way our students interact with their Students’ Union across both the Sunderland and London campuses. The findings highlighted the need for a clear shift away from the more traditional models of SU democracy towards a community organising approach.

The post holder will need to demonstrate how they meet the essential criteria outlined in the job description and person specification within their application statement, providing clear examples of relevant experience.

Informal conversations about the role are encouraged with our Student Communities Manager, Kara-Jane Senior, ahead of application.
