An exciting opportunity has arisen for an individual within our newly established Student Communities Team based in Sunderland. The team supports a wide range of activity within student leadership including officer support, societies, student representation, volunteering and campaigns. The successful candidate will be responsible for working with a wide range of student leaders to mobilise the community organising model for a particular faculty within the Universty of Sunderland, harnessing their talent enhancing student skill development.

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain a variety of skills through being involved in a varied role across different areas of Membership Services at Sunderland Students' Union. 

Over the past year we have undertaken a Democracy and Governance Review to revitalise the way our students interact with their Students' Union across both the Sunderland and London campuses. The findings of the review have highlighted the need for the SU to make a clear shift from the more traditional styles of SU democracy, facilitating instead, a community organising model.

The post holder will need to demonstrate the essential criteria from the JD/Person specification within their application statement demonstrating previous experience and clear examples.

It is an exciting time to join us! We have recently achieved Quality Students' Union accreditation from the National Union of Students.

Informal conversations regarding the post are encouraged with our Head of Operations, Dan Fow, ahead of application. Please email Dan at daniel.fow@sunderland.ac.uk to arrange an informal and confidential meeting.
