As an organisation, we've got a clear strategic framework, insight, people and values frameworks so your contribution will be to role model great behaviours and maintain excellent cross-directorate working. You'll need to be able to pull different threads together and ensure our work is aligned to our strategy and values. You'll be providing political advice to the elected student officers so being able to navigate complex stakeholder relationships and navigate others through it is important. You do not have to have worked in education, Students' Unions or the third sector before. The person specification is clear we're looking for leadership development skills and a navigating complex environments orientation.
