Job Description

On applying for this role you will be sent an application pack to complete. CV and covering letter will not be accepted. Interviews to be held on 23 February to which you must be available to attend.

The values are our number one priority at work. We really care about having a positive impact on our students

This role offers the successful candidate an amazing opportunity to be part of an innovative, award-winning charity which seeks to have the highest standards of service required to be one of the country’s leading Students’ Unions.

The Union is Silver Investors in People. Our most recent report this February said

We are committed to being an inclusive and diverse organisation and welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds and particularly encourage applicants from ethnic minorities and those whose background and perspective will help the Union better understand and represent students from underrepresented or marginalised communities.

We have a range of policies that support staff with work/life balance, personal development and their long-term health.

About the role

With the introduction of higher fees and most students borrowing increasingly large sums of money to fund their higher education, the Union’s emphasis is firmly on ensuring that both their academic and extra-curricular achievements are high quality and enable them to stand out at all stages of recruitment, to secure the jobs they want.

This is in line with the expectations of students at Northumbria – our research has shown that our students see a very strong link between their attending University and the opportunities that attendance offers them once they graduate.

Over the past decade, the Union has built a national reputation for the quality of its extracurricular provision with a focus on meaningful experience that balances fun and enjoyment with personal development.

We are recruiting a coordinator, to work with the Graduate Outcomes Manager, to help us take forward the latter element but without removing the sense of fun and ownership that our volunteering should provide to students.

The successful post-holder will work closely with the University careers to ensure improved awareness amongst students and to build the capacity of our student volunteers and leaders to reflect on their experiences and use those to inform their approach to making job applications; recognising their own achievements and framing those achievements in a way that employers understand and want to know more about.

The post-holder will support the Graduate Outcomes Manager on our system of volunteer recognition to ensure it is accessible to students, recognises activity in a meaningful and evidenced based way and resonates with employers. The post holder will look to maintain our model of leadership development for student volunteers across the Union as well as the potential for other skills training, delivered internally or externally and lead on the Union’s annual training plan for staff and student volunteers.

Finally, the post-holder will work with individual strands of the Union to support student activity from oversight of specific projects aimed at personal development to securing additional funds that build student employability.

Our ambition is to see more of our leadership volunteers and indeed volunteers at all levels utilise our systems for recognition and the post-holder will work closely with those groups to help them through that process.

To succeed, the post holder must be enthusiastic about working within a busy environment that serves a large and diverse student body. As well as passionate about the benefits of student representation to the students of Northumbria and to the representatives themselves in terms of a meaningful volunteering experience. The post holder must also have an interest in supporting others personal development.

This is a very exciting time to be part of this dynamic and unique organisation. For further information about the Union visit www.mynsu.co.uk.
