Students have just under two weeks left to apply for Lead MCR and to have the chance to become a Students’ Union Executive Officer.

There are eight positions available – Union Affairs Officer, City and Community Officer, Wellbeing and Liberation Officer, Activities and Culture Officer, Humanities Officer, Science and Engineering Officer, Biology, Medicine and Health Officer and Postgraduate Research Officer.

This is their opportunity to represent all students at our University and influence their experience throughout the University and wider city.

As an Exec Officer they could:

  • Meet with senior University leaders, the Mayor and the government to represent students and improve their student experience
  • Work with students to campaign on issues that matter to them
  • Network with other SUs across the country to learn from them and improve the student experience nationally
  • Represent students on national TV and radio, create content, host award shows and organise events
  • Lead major SU campaigns like Reclaim the Night and Cost of Living

As a candidate, they’ll receive full training and be matched with a dedicated wellbeing support staff member throughout their campaigning.

This is a full-time, salaried position and the 24/25 Officers will be paid more than £24,000 for the year and get 30 days holiday and closure days.
