Find Your Perfect Job Role at Your Students' Union
All Current Jobs
Bournemouth University students are part of one of the best Students’ Unions in the UK…SUBU. As winners of the 2016 NUS Education Award and sector leaders for ‘Student Voice’ in the 2017 National Student Survey, SUBU consistently delivers an outstanding experience for its students. Why not be part of it?
Student Trustee Vacancy
SUBU recruits Student Trustees to be part of our Trustee Board. There are currently three vacancies for three Student Trustees for 2019/20
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 in 18/19 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. A knowledge or background of accounts / financial management would be desirable, but not essential.
To be eligible to be a Student Trustee you must be:
(i) a student registered on a BU programme of study;
(ii) a full member of the Union;
(iii) not a member of the Executive Committee; and
(iv) not prohibited by law from being a charity trustee.
