Trustee

Beds SU is the student charity of the University of Bedfordshire. We are recruiting trustees to our Board of Trustees to help further students' interests and improve their lives as students.

Students at our University embark on life-changing journeys and the Students' Union supports, services and campaigns to enhance their university experiences and outcomes.

In overseeing our strategic achievement, Trustees are crucial to ensuring our activities are adaptive to our unique membership. The student body is among the most mature and ethnically diverse in the UK and there is a thriving community of International Students alongside a growing number of apprentices.

Many of our Members are students with children and student commuters, and many engage in work-based placements as part of their study, such as in schools and hospitals.

Students at our university embark on life-changing journeys that raise aspirations and open opportunities. Serving as a trustee can be a valuable way of making a contribution to wider society, not least the Bedfordshire student body.

A diversity of backgrounds and perspectives, both in person and in profession, will enhance the Board's collective capability and we seek applicants who share our values for students.

We strive to see the Board reflective of the community we serve and encourage applications from those from Asian, Black and other ethnic minority backgrounds as they are or have been under-represented at Beds SU.

Trustees commit to participating in online meetings (up to 7 per year each lasting 2 hours); they engage in some online training and attend an in-person Board 'away day' each October.

Apply via our website where you'll be asked to complete an online application form.

Deadline for applications is 9am on Monday 02 December.
