The role of a student trustee is a voluntary position and recruiting due to existing student trustees having reached the end of their terms of office.
Here at UCSU, as with many other organisations we have a mission and vision but in reality, this equates to supporting our students and enhancing their time at University. We believe we already do a great job of this and we are constantly looking at ways to improve what we do. Student Trustees help ensure that the Union is accountable to its members and that students have their views heard at this level, they provide student expertise, experience and knowledge of the current student experience. Student Trustees also offer support to the elected officers and lay trustees to ensure that the Students’ Union will be able to deliver positive change for its members.
As a student, being a Trustee is a great opportunity but it does come with responsibility. Training/support will be provided throughout your term in office and it is a great asset to have on your CV.
