Student Trustee Vacancy

 

Application deadline: Midday, Monday 4th November 2019

Interviews: Week 13th November 2019- Dates TBC

Position: Voluntary - UNPAID

Location: Student Centre, Talbot Campus

 

SUBU recruits student trustees to be part of our Trustee Board.

There is currently a vacancy for 3 student trustees for 2019/2020.

The term of office is for two years so that means that it would probably be best if you are likely to be a student at BU for at least two more years.

This Board has the overall responsibility for the management of SUBU, its financial solvency as well as its ongoing strategy and strategic plan.

It holds the Managers and staff of SUBU to account.

The Board meets four times a year, in semester time.

Attendance and preparation for these meetings will be your main role. These meetings tend to take around three and a half hours.

There are also four  Audit And Risk Committee (ARC)meetings per year and the occasional ‘task and finish’ group. Each of these meetings tend to take one and a half hours each.

 Attendance at these other meetings (ARC and T and F group), unless specified, is voluntary.

Your role as a Student Trustee is to bring a sense of what the students need and feel about the current provision of SUBU. It is not an elected representative role.  This is a great opporuntity to

  • Learn new skills that you can take into any graduate career
  • Be involved in influencing and implementing postive change
  • Experience how people and organisations work
  • Stand out in the recruitmwent field with this postion on your CV
  • Gain valuable experience working as part of a respected and sucessful organisation, making a difference to students at BU
