About the Role:
Our mission at York SU is simple - we provide representation, opportunities and run services for all 22,000+ students at the University of York. York SU is looking for an experienced and highly motivated individual to lead our student voice staff team. You will support the continued development of academic representation, democracy and research; strengthening our student voice work by working in partnership with students to shape both their Students’ Union and their academic experience more widely.

You’ll help equip York’s student leaders to effectively represent students at all levels of decision making. You will build on and develop innovative partnerships that help York SU practice and promote co-production with students. And you’ll help York SU to develop and deliver a research programme that allows the organisation to fully understand our student members, harnessing insights and utilising these to influence policy and practice.

We are looking for someone ready to work within a team in a fast-paced, student-led environment. You’ll need to be self-motivated, flexible and able to balance competing priorities. You’ll bring sharp political instincts and an ability to analyse and understand the impact of external developments on students and the SU. The role is diverse, it requires an inclusive, deeply collaborative, innovative and thoughtful approach. You’ll bring strong project management skills and provide leadership across key areas of work while taking a hands-on approach and being willing to contribute at all levels. If you’re excited by the opportunity to harness the voices of students and contribute to an ambitious Union that’s working hard to empower, support and challenge to ensure that student life at York is the best that it can be, then this could be the role for you.

This is a full-time (35hrs/wk), permanent role to start 20th April 2026. We offer a competitive starting salary of £34,071. Join us and help shape the future of our Students' Union!
