South Bank Students Union is a non-for-profit organisation, which champions social mobility through education and has a vision to disrupt the cycle of inequality in higher education.
We are looking for a Student Voice Coordinator to join our new team as we embark on a five-year strategy to transform the way we engage and support students to help them reach their full potential.
Nowhere is inequality in our education system more recognisable than in higher education, where those from the most privileged backgrounds still have the most equity and most chances to achieve and succeed.
South Bank students have high expectations and ambitions for themselves but lead complex lives where they are faced with the pressures of trying to balance their studies with work and juggling their lives at home. In fact, many don't identify primarily as students, but instead as carers, nurses, engineers, parents, designers, workers, entrepreneurs, apprentices, last chance learners and Londoners.
At South Bank Students' Union we believe that a student's background and life circumstances should not put them at an educational disadvantage, and all students deserve a high-quality University experience and the chance to graduate equipped with the tools to succeed in life - this role is at the heart of this work.
Alongside our current Student Voice Coordinator, the person in this role will be responsible for delivering the Union’s key Student Voice programmes which include: our course rep scheme; student issues tracking; focus groups and officer insight campaigns. They will also provide support for student leaders. This includes supporting the effective election, induction and ongoing development of the Union’s President, Lead Representatives and democratic processes.
We are looking for someone who can truly understand the lived experiences of those who have faced societal barriers to participation, and who is motivated by delivering work which aims to challenge and remove these norms.
Commitment to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
SBSU’s simple vision of disrupting inequality is the heartbeat of the organisation and it is this which steers its decisions, practice, and priorities. It unifies our services, and it drives our staff to remove societal barriers so that all people can achieve their full potential.
SBSU believes that in order to truly disrupt inequality for its members, it must also strive to do this for its workforce – in short, staff must experience it in order to deliver it!
Our Union benefits enormously from having a team of staff with a range of diverse lived experiences. We understand that some life circumstances might be more complex, and that some will have had to overcome more barriers. We value the unique perspectives that are formed by an individual’s background and believe that ‘bringing your whole self to work’ is essential for informed decision making and collaboration and paves the way for high performance so we welcome applications from all, especially if your background and circumstances are traditionally under-represented in the workplace.

Mothers Union
Mothers' Union is a global Christian movement working with people of all faiths and none to develop communities, strengthen families and advocate for change. Our members are active in 83 countries and work tirelessly to serve their communities to build a future where everyone thrives.
Founded in 1876, Mothers’ Union is a women-led volunteer movement, with a membership of 4 million people around the world, 36,000 of whom live in the UK and Ireland. Based on Christian fellowship, members express their faith through action in their local communities, aiming to create a world where every individual can reach their full potential, by stopping poverty, injustice and violence.
The opportunity
In 2026, Mothers’ Union will be 150 years’ young. This is a major opportunity for MU to celebrate with the membership, and also to use the opportunity to reach out to new members and supporters.
The following have been identified as the major activities for the year:
- London, June 10th: Thanksgiving Service in St Paul’s Cathedral at 5pm, followed by a possible reception.
- London, June 11th: Celebratory Gathering of the membership in central London, at the Emmanuel Centre, near to the base of MU in Mary Sumner House, Westminster.
- A physical exhibition in Mary Sumner House, and a virtual exhibition which can tour.
- Between March (Lady Day) and August (Mary Sumner Day) a range of events organized by provinces and local dioceses, for membership and fundraising, including picnics, Sunday Takeovers and local initiatives such as tree planting.
- In South Africa in October, a Global Gathering of 2500 members and guests, preceded by a leadership. meeting (“Worldwide Council”) and followed by a Worldwide Board meeting.
- For all, a cohesive communications plan is being prepared.
Current Status
Individual teams are taking ownership of elements, which particularly for membership and fundraising initiatives include targets for delivery. These are being finalized as part of the current budgeting process
We are, however, a small staff team, and this workload will be exceptional. Teams are discussing interdependencies and synergies across work streams, but there is a need to ensure that these are coordinated and monitored, and any issues or clashes in priority quickly identified and resolved. Throughout, close collaboration between the staff team and membership will be essential.
The role
There is a need for an experienced project manager to join the team, from October 2025 to November 2026, to provide co-ordination across streams and stakeholders, flag issues early, ensure that all activities are properly planned, resourced and within budget, and that relevant stakeholders are kept informed.
Key Responsibilities
In collaboration with each stream leader, to put together a masterplan with associated budgets, drawing together what has already been prepared, and flagging any potential gaps, synergies or conflicts, for resolution.
This plan will identify clearly accountabilities (and how these sit with the wider work of teams and individuals, staff and members or volunteers).
With the leads, to share the masterplan with the Board, for approval, and provide regular reporting, in line with agreed milestones.
For South Africa: In line with the governance structure approved by the Board in September, to be the coordinator for the Steering Group, Operational Committee and on the ground event management teams, ensuring seamless communications, and timely reporting as required; to manage practical issues with delegates from outside S Africa as they arise, for example around ticketing, and to manage stakeholders. This will, and will require close collaboration with the Director of Fundraising and Communications as senior staff lead and almost certainly require one or more site visits.
For centrally organized events in London: To provide the detailed project management under the Membership Team, ensuring that necessary resource is drawn in for support at key times before, during and if needed after the events; to actively engage in delivery on the days, as required.
For Province and Diocese led events: To work with the Board lead to capture and track all events and their impact, and ensure that resources are made available through the central teams to agreed schedules, and reports received back for communications. This will include ensuring a shared understanding of the initiatives, and the benefits for the wider membership.
For Communications: To work with the lead and all teams, to ensure that all are agreed on and understand the priorities through the year, and that the processes in place to deliver.
Impact tracking: To agree / confirm with each workstream the target impact, and to track against this. To prepare an initial overall impact assessment by end November, 2025.
Reporting: The project manager will report operationally into the CEO or an agreed SLT member, and will provide monthly summary reports to the SLT, flagging any issues for resolution, and timely reports for the Board.
Mothers’ Union is a Christian organization, and all events will be inspired by the Christian faith. The postholder would need to be comfortable in working in a Christian environment, and a practicing Christian would be an advantage.
A project management qualification, such as Prince 2, would be a distinct advantage, and a minimum of 5 years’ experience in project management.
Key skills
- You will need to have excellent organizational, stakeholder management and communications skills
- A natural teamworker, you will be skilled at identifying solutions together with others, which enable informed choices to be made and decisions respected.
