Role description and person specification.

Warwick SU represents the views and interests of students at Warwick University. The University’s 20,000 + students come from across the UK and overseas, from diverse age groups, with diverse experiences and needs. Warwick SU is a complex charitable membership organisation which also runs significant commercial services whose surpluses are used to subsidise our welfare, representational and developmental activities for our members.

The contribution of our Trustee Board is critical if we are to deliver our members’ expectations.

We are looking for up to 2 volunteer Student trustees with passion and enthusiasm who can commit 4 to 6 hours per month largely in early evenings to drive strategy and ensure strong governance. To apply, you must be a Student at Warwick University and you must be over 18 years old when you take up appointment.

Our Trustee Board has been lucky enough to include postgraduate and undergraduate students, full time and part time students, home and international students, students from the whole gamut of faculties and students of varying ages (from 18 to 70!). We would really like to maintain such a wide variety of experiences on our Trustee Board and welcome applications from all students in any of the demographic groups that make up the student body here at Warwick.

If you think you would be interested in applying to be a student trustee email trustees@warwicksu.com for further information. For an informal discussion about the role please contact Dan Stevens, Chair of Trustees and President of Warwick SU by email at president@warwicksu.com.

Interested parties are asked to send a CV and covering letter detailing why you would like to be a trustee at Warwick Students’ Union and what you could bring to the Board to trustees@warwicksu.com.
