Engaging with our students is fundamental - everything we do is for them. We are now seeking to appoint two Student Trustees who are passionate about helping shape the future of the organisation.

Your perspective as a current student is essential to ensuring student voices are represented at a strategic level. As a Trustee, you will play a key role in both supporting and constructively challenging how we deliver the best possible student experience.

To continue improving what we do, we must understand what matters most to our students and ensure they are at the heart of every decision.

The term of office may be shorter or longer on a transitional basis to coincide with the alteration of the year start or end.
