Role

Students have recently reshaped our democratic structures through the Democracy Review. At the same time, the University is moving from four Schools to three Faculties. As academic structures change, our representation systems must align clearly and remain effective.

This role will spearhead the implementation of our new democratic and student voice structures, focusing on increasing engagement and the effectiveness of our representation systems.

The Student Democracy & Insights Coordinator will lead on analysing and presenting student insight to strengthen representation and influence decision-making.

The role combines democratic development with data analysis. The postholder will maintain and develop student feedback systems, identify trends across campuses and Faculties, and translate complex information into clear, accessible reports and briefings that support elected Officers, staff and University engagement.

This role ensures that student voice is not only heard, but understood and acted upon.
