UEL Students’ Union is a progressive charity that supports 15,000 students that study at the University of East London. We are based in one of the most diverse boroughs in the world and our membership proudly reflects the communities we are based in.
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.
We are currently emerging from a period of reflection where we have heard from more than 1,000 of our students. This has helped us understand the incredible diversity of our students and their differing needs. We will now work to build a students’ union that champions their aspirations and can deliver what’s needed to make a difference.
We are excited about this and have invested in six new managerial posts, to give us the expertise needed.
As our Student Voice Manager, you will support students to take an active role driving change. We want both our student’s academic and overall university experience to be the best it can be.
To achieve this you will work with student representatives at school and course level and in community groups to pinpoint areas that could be better.
You can then help us create positive change by preparing evidence and harnessing student voices that our elected officers and staff can use to inform change and policy.
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 this is the role for you.
If you can operate in environments where change is constant, 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.
Diversity is one of the defining features of life at UEL, with over 155 nationalities represented in our student body. Within Newham where we are based, over 74% of residents as 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.
Closing date: 9 a.m. Monday 4th April 2022
