Student Trustee Recruitment

Currently, we are not recruiting any Student Trustees, but please follow us on Social Media where we post SU vacancies.   In the meantime, take a look at what our Student Trustees do!

Being a Student Trustee is is a fantastic opportunity for students who are interested in taking a voluntary leadership role in a charitable organisation which is led by students for students, and who have a desire to help students ‘love student life.’ This is an exciting voluntary role which can be undertaken alongside your studies, helping you to develop valuable skills and increasing your employability, all whilst representing the views of University of Greater Manchester students.

What is a Trustee?

UGMSU is the representative body of all students at the University of Greater Manchester.

As a registered charity, we have a Board of Trustees who are responsible for the overall running of the Students’ Union.  Trustees oversee the Students’ Union’s governance, legal compliance and financial stability, ensuring UGMSU is working for students now and in the future.

What is the time commitment required?

Bolton SU’s Board of Trustees meets 4 times a year. Each meeting usually lasts for around 2 hours.

Eligibility
This role is open to all students (when we are recruiting), but you must be registered at the University of Greater Manchester.

Student Trustees who sit on the Trustee Board for UGMSU have the same rights and responsibilities as the other members of the Trustee Board. However, they will not be involved in the day-to-day running of the Students' Union, rather taking an overview of how the Union is performing both financially and strategically and in delivering services to students.

If you need more information please do get in touch by contacting Janet Galligan, General Manager; j.galligan@bolton.ac.uk for an informal conversation.
