Chief Executive | Solent Students’ Union
2 days ago
As Chief Executive of Solent Students’ Union, you will have the chance to drive student success, inclusivity, and innovation. This is your chance to shape the future and make a lasting impact
- Location: Southampton
Our students are at the heart of everything we do. We aim to ensure that every student has the highest quality of education and the best student experience possible during their time here at Solent University.
We are here to improve students’ education, make campus life fun, look after their wellbeing, make them more employable after university, and ultimately empower them to change the world around them.
As a Students’ Union, we are constantly listening, learning, evolving, and being accountable for our actions. Equality, diversity, and inclusivity, as well as sustainability, are extremely important to us and will be the driving force behind our strategic planning.
Solent Students’ Union employs around 10 salaried staff at any one time. We also offer a range of volunteering opportunities for students. Our staff, headed by our Chief Executive, are dedicated to delivering the Union’s day-to-day support services and activities.
We believe that this is an exciting time to join us as Chief Executive. We have made significant enhancements to our SU in recent years, which has seen us rise 8 places this year in the National Student Survey and 27 places over the past two years. We believe this is due to our ethos of creating change together.
Despite our enhancements, we know that there is still much more to do to realise our full potential. We want to continue to grow our levels of student engagement, diversify our income streams, and ensure that inclusion is at the heart of all that we do.
Our ideal candidate is approachable, inclusive, and collaborative. We believe emotional intelligence and experience of working with small but mighty teams with challenging budgets will be critical to the success of our Chief Executive.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone seeking their first Chief Executive role. We also encourage leaders from outside of the student movement to consider this opportunity. We welcome applications from all candidates, especially from people traditionally underrepresented in leadership.
For further information about the role, or to arrange a confidential discussion, please contact our advising consultant at Peridot Partners.
