1 month ago


South Kensington, United Kingdom Imperial College London Full time

The student representation team is an integral part of the Student’s Union here at Imperial College. We empower students to change the world around them. From running elections and supporting student-led campaigns, to delivering research and insight on student opinion - our team amplifies the voices of students and supports them in inspiring change and making the world a better place: in the Union, in the College, in the local area and beyond.

We are currently looking for an upbeat and impassioned individual to help support the Representation Manager in our primary objectives of representing students effectively and delivering the best student led experience possible. You will be an outstanding teammate working closely with Officer Trustees and elected student representatives to ensure that positive and impactful change is driven successfully. You will also help deliver Union democratic functions to ensure our representation is engaging and inclusive and enables students to be involved in the decision making at every level.

Experience in a similar role within a fast paced (and fun) environment would be helpful.

**Duties and responsibilities**:
The Representation Administrator is a role to support and enable effective student representation within Imperial College Union. The role will ensure students are central to Union decision making by supporting fair democratic processes and helping to provide an excellent student experience.

The role is also responsible for empowering elected student representatives to be effective in their roles, through effective and efficient administration of services relating to student representatives.

Alongside the elected Officer Trustees and the Representation Manager, the role will support the development of strategic and operational goals that strengthen the Union’s support capacity and empower student-led change. The role will administer effective training and processes surrounding representation and democracy and play a critical role in assessing the impact of the student representatives. The role will support the delivery of key projects which affect the academic or educational experience of students at Imperial.

The full duties and responsibilities are set out in the Job Description and Person Specification.

**Essential requirements**:
Essential Requirements:

- A Level or relevant experience
- Experience of supporting and empowering volunteers (preferably within higher education)
- Experience of supporting student representation and/or democracy
- Experience of project support and/or event administration, delivery and evaluation
- Experience of maintaining relationships with stakeholders
- Experience of producing and delivering training
- Understanding of the structures, issues and trends affecting higher education and the student experience
- Understanding of best practice in student democracy
- Understanding of best practice for developing and delivering training
- Understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion issues in practice
- Excellent communication skills, both written and oral
- Excellent administration and organisation abilities and the competence to balance competing priorities in order to meet deadlines
- Ability to work effectively on your own as well as in a team
- Ability to work in a fast-paced and changing environment with a flexible and adaptable approach to work
- Commitment to the Union’s values of integrity, democracy, inclusivity, accountability, and ambition

**Further information**:
Please note this role is with the Students’ Union. We’re a registered charity in our right, with our own governance, systems, processes and objectives. However, we work extremely closely with Imperial College London, so you’ll also be joining a wider community of staff working within higher education. If you’ve never worked in a students’ union, or are unsure why it’s different, we urge you to get in contact. It’s a brilliant place to work.
