We are led by a team consisting of four full-time and six part-time elected officers. Our permanent staff team works alongside them to ensure that you receive the support you’re looking for from Your Students' Union.
The Union is governed by the Board of Trustees, comprising Officer, Student and External Trustees. Our Chief Executive and staff work alongside the Officer Trustees and other elected Officers to run the Union.
Our purpose is centred around our five key principles that shape how we work for you: Passionate, Integrity, Empowering, Success and Inclusive.
