► Part-time Officers

Part time officer roles are voluntary, although you will receive an attendance allowance for official meetings. The experience looks great on a CV and is a good way of getting stuck into something you are passionate about.

Charities Officer - Currently Vacant

Enthusiastic, passionate and game for a laugh? The role of the Charities officer requires you to work alongside external charities and the RAG (Raising And Giving) Committee and help raise money and awareness for your chosen charities.
You don’t need to be completely “right on” but it certainly helps to have some zest for charity work.

Disabilities - Michael Mattinson

It is the role of the Disabilities Officer to ensure students with disabilities are well represented and their opinions are reflected throughout the whole of the University. It’s your responsibility to ensure that disability provision is up to scratch and create relevant working groups where appropriate.

You’re not expected to speak numerous languages with this one, although if you choose to learn ‘hello’ in a couple of them we’re sure it will go down well! You will be part of the International and European welcome party and work closely with the International Office within the University and be aware of any problems or concerns that face our overseas students.
