East London Students' Union is a progressive charity that supports around 24,000 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. Our Docklands offices were fully refurbished last year. We're currently refurbishing our common rooms and reception area. Earlier this year in Stratford, we launched an excellent new space with sitting around areas, reception, performance rooms and meetings room.
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.
If you are excited by the opportunity to help us do things differently, empower others and build a students' union that can better support our students, then we could have a role for you. If you can operate in environments where change is continual, challenges multi-faceted and where solutions require innovative thinking, you'll thrive here. You'll also need to be self-driven, able to operate with autonomy and be able to balance competing priorities.
As our advice manager, you will be responsible for managing advice provision and providing impartial advice on academic matters to students. You will be required to identify trends and produce reports using data emerging from our provision. You will use that to inform effective delivery of campaigns by student officers, other student representatives and staff. Some of these campaigns will be preventive work directed towards students, while others will be about effecting change in the University.
Diversity is one of the defining features of life at UEL, with over 180 nationalities represented in our student body. Within Newham, where we are based, over 74% of residents are from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. As we grow our staff team, we are passionate about making our teams representative of the students we support and the communities we operate in. We therefore especially welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates and other candidates typically underrepresented in leadership.
