Student Trustee (Postgraduate) (3 positions)

We are looking for a new Student trustee for Cambridge SU for the next academic year (2025-26). The board, and this role in particular, over the next year will predominantly;

• Provide leadership to all in the SU
• Deliver the SU's first organisational strategy 
• Measure the SU's success against the aims of the merger

We are looking to fill 3 postgrauduate vacancies. To be eligible, candidates must be a University of Cambridge postgraduate student for the entirety of their term. 

This role would be perfect for someone who is looking to gain valuable experience and help steer Cambridge SU as we deliver our first organisational strategy.

There are meetings 6-8 times per year; however, membership of the board's committees may involve additional meetings.

Key Responsibilities

The Cambridge SU Trustee Board’s powers are strictly limited to what is outlined in Cambridge SU’s governing documents and also those responsibilities the Board must exercise in law. This means, generally:

• Assessing and managing the legal and financial risks to the charity
• Ensuring that Cambridge SU operates inside the law
• Identifying new legal and strategic challenges for the union

Induction and training will be provided to all board members upon appointment.

We would love to hear from you if you are interested in joining a driven, change-making, student-led organisation.
The deadline for applications is 3rd April. Interviews may be held following this date.  

Key Documents:

• Application Form
• Student Trustee Information Pack 

We welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from those from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds, as they are under-represented within Cambridge SU in some areas. We are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments individuals may require in the recruitment process, on commencement, or once in post.
