Your ideal position is the 'Full Time Officer'

You want the fireworks, but you don't want it to get in the way of the rest of your life. You've got the passion, but you've got other things to focus on. You want to explore in your spare time whilst balancing the rest of your endeavours. You want a position that's going to fit in with you, your schedule and your abilities.

Our Part Time Officers represent students according to their area of responsibility such as Postgraduate students, part time students or Art students etc. or they represent students from certain demographics ie. LGBTQ+, International Students or mature students etc. These are voluntary, part time positions which fit in alongside your studies and any jobs that you might have.

One person isn't enough for you, you want to be right in the thick of it with a group of like-minded people, bringing them together and allowing them to let loose and share the experiences with you. You can really command a room, and you love being in charge.

Our Chair positions are perfect for those people who don't have a great amount of free time, but want to lead on key meetings, arranging important gatherings for other volunteer students to share findings, experiences, best practice and to make changes to your area of interest.

Your ideal position is 'Chair'

You're not a huge fan of committing to just one thing, you like to try lots of things and get lots of experiences and you aren't afraid of trying something new. You're not really interested in anything super long-term, but you really want to build a repertoire of fantastic and memorable experiences. 

Our NUS Delegate positions involve attending the NUS Conference - your transport and accommodation and some food will be paid for. The conference is 3 days, where you will vote on national policy which will affect students in Further & Higher Education across the whole of the UK. You will also vote for your national officers. It's only a 3 day role, but you get so much out of it and help to make incredible changes.
