External Trustees x3

The Students’ Union at the University of Gloucestershire delivers a range of activities and opportunities to enhance the lives of our students, from sports and societies to welfare and representation. We are seeking to appoint three new external Trustees to join our Board of Trustees. 

We are particularly looking for Trustees with financial, HR or commercial acumen. 

For further information on these role and how to apply please download the recruitment pack. 

The deadline for applications: noon on Thursday 2nd January.  Interviews on 6th or 13th January.

(Please note that External Trustees are unpaid but associated expenses such as travel will be reimbursed.)

Student Trustee

We are looking for individuals with good decision-making skills, who can work well in a team and are open to learning, whilst respecting that certain discussions of the Board need to remain confidential.

The individual appointed as trustee will need to be sympathetic to the aims of the organisation and more generally share a commitment to the broader values of the student movement: student representation, student rights and the student experience – and the importance of students having a platform to organise together to help make these values a reality.

The role requires a careful balance: trustees need to respect the democratic will of the membership where possible but also be willing to think creativity and point out potential risk in any proposals. An eye for detail to ensure the Union is being well-governed and the ability to see future opportunities are also important.
