Role

At UWS Students' Union, we’re here to make sure students are heard, supported, and empowered to thrive. Our mission is simple:

“To be the voice for students at UWS, effecting change and maximising the student experience by creating a sense of belonging and offering opportunities to improve students’ lives.”

Due to internal career progression, we’re looking for a new Operations Coordinator to join our team – someone who can provide 1st class administration, HR, H&S and Governance support to a busy and vibrant office. Keeping the administration function running smoothly allows the student facing staff members to do what they do best.

This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same. You might be attending and taking part in conferences with other Students’ Unions to share ideas and best practice, assisting/completing risk assessments for Union activities or providing secretarial support to the Board of Trustees. Whatever the situation, you will bring essential and detail focused skills to maintain and improve the smooth running of the Union.

You’ll also:

• Process purchase invoices through Xero accounting software.

• HR administration support and maintenance of BrightHR platform.

• Ensuring adherence to H&S policies and procedures.

• Recruitment and onboarding of new staff/Elected Officers.

You’ll be joining a small, values-driven team that’s passionate about social justice, equity, and creating a supportive environment for all UWS students.
