In this role, you’ll be chairing two of our most important democratic meetings – the All Student Meetings and the Student Representative Committee. The All Student Meetings are large meetings where all students can submit ideas, take part in debates and vote. The Student Representative Committee is a monthly meeting for our 16 full-time and part-time student representatives. The role is an exciting opportunity to help us build an authentic student voice and improve engagement with our democratic meetings.

Please read through the job description carefully to ensure you meet the requirements and are available on the meeting dates listed in the job description before applying. Candidates must be able to demonstrate their eligibility to work in the UK in accordance with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006.
