Jobs @ SUBU

The Community Warden role is based mainly off campus in the community, during term time; working pro-actively towards making the local community a safer, cleaner and ‘greener’ place for all residents, and foster good relations between the student and non-student residents. You will be working with a team of up to 6 Community Wardens from SUBU and the AUB, and you will be expected to patrol designated streets around Wallisdown, Winton and Charminster, speaking to all student and non-student residents, and posting information leaflets. You will also attend regular meetings, with SUBU, BU, AUB, BCP Council and the Campus Police relevant to the post. You will take an active interest in student and non-student residents within your area, and encourage a culture of community.

Why become a Student Community Warden?

If you are a Bournemouth University student, with at least one years experience of living in Bournemouth, (or if you have already had previous experience in a similar role) with a passion for improving community relations, excellent inter-personal skills, and would consider yourself to be self-motivated with the ability to use your own initiative, this could be ideal for you.

• Up to 7 flexible hours per week, during term time working around your other commitments.

• Competitive rate of pay (£8.20p per hour from 01/04/2020), maximum of 28 hours per month on average.

The Students’ Union at Bournemouth University (SUBU) is looking for two student trustees to join its trustee board, for a term of up to two years.

SUBU is an independent charity, representing around 19,000 Bournemouth University students. We are led by four democratically-elected sabbatical officers, who are the voice of students at Bournemouth and work to make the student experience as great as possible. Whether that it is through our clubs and societies, our commercial venues or by providing advice and representation, we are here for students.

As a charity, we have a trustee board which steers the strategic direction of the students’ union and provides oversight of the charity’s operations to ensure financial sustainability, legal compliance and reputational integrity. This is an exciting time to join SUBU as a trustee - we have recently completed a democracy and governance review and are currently developing a new strategic plan and are looking for external expertise to help us achieve our strategic objectives.

This is an excellent opportunity to develop your employability skills as a student. You’ll gain experience of sitting on the Board of a multi-million pound charity with a trading subsidiary and play a key role in the strategic direction of the students’ union, as well as gaining key skills in communication, diplomacy and teamwork.

This position is voluntary, however reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed. Training will be provided. You will need to be a student at Bournemouth University for the entirety of your term of office.

Trustees are expected to attend up to five Board meetings a year of around 3-4 hours each, as well as a strategy day. There is some reading and preparation time required for each meeting.

All meetings will take place via Microsoft Teams until the end of 2020, after which they will take place at the Students’ Union in Bournemouth.
