AMOSSHE, The Student Services Organisation

Who we are

AMOSSHE The Student Services Organisation is a not-for-profit professional membership association for Student Services leaders in higher education. Our mission is to support, inform and empower our community of Student Services leaders to enhance the higher education student experience and help students fulfil their potential. We do this through collaboration and networking, sharing good practice, enhancing professional development and influencing policy and investment.

Our culture and values

Our mission is to strengthen our community of exceptional Student Services leaders in delivering an outstanding student experience. Here are our values, which are founded on our key values as a community of Student Services leaders. We're:

• Supportive: Everyone in our community is important, wherever they are on their professional journey. We embrace the diversity of our colleagues and welcome everyone into a supportive environment that fosters belonging, trust, mutual respect and understanding.
• Collaborative: We believe in the power of collective intelligence and the strength that comes from working together. By uniting our expertise and leveraging the unique talents of everyone in our community we can establish strong connections and partnerships, both among ourselves and with others.
• Impactful: Everything we do has purpose and is clearly informed by expertise to inspire confidence and trust. We strive to ensure that our actions create lasting, positive impact, both within our community and in the wider higher education environment.

Further information on our culture and values can be found within our new stategy on our website in our About section.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The success of AMOSSHE depends on our community. We find value in celebrating what makes each person unique, and drawing on their different perspectives and experiences to improve the way we do business.

We’re committed to championing equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) among our members, their provider organisations, and in the wider higher education sector. We seek to reflect all aspects of the communities that we serve thorough our membership, workforce, and activities. AMOSSHE will follow all relevant UK laws and, where appropriate, exceed statutory requirements, all while staying true to EDI best practice.
