Following a review of the support available within the SU for our student groups, this department has been reimagined- pulling together a focus on Societies, Student Media, and student communities- and in particular refreshing and enhancing our engagement and support of JCRs (Junior Common Rooms- student communities based in each of our 9 colleges). As a result, we are now looking for a confident, proactive manager to lead the departments work and realise our vision.

The job will suit someone who is decisive, organised, skilled at event and risk management and passionate about engaging a diverse range of students.
