Details
We're on a journey to become the world's most student-centred organisation and this is your chance to join us.
The Promise 1 department is on a mission to create opportunities for members to get involved with new activities, develop their personal and academic skills, help shape their education and have their voice heard. We want those studying at Essex to get the very best educational experience. The focus is on meeting Promise One delivering a truly amazing degree for every single member. As part of the wider Marketing & Strategy directorate this is genuinely ground-breaking work that's at the heart of our ambition to become the world's most student-centred organisation, so you'll be expected to work closely with our members in planning and delivering the elements.
WHAT YOU'LL DO.
THE DAY TO DAY.
Reporting to the Education Manager, you will support students and students union staff in representation. You will ensure students and staff are properly supported in meetings and circulating education policy updates. You will co-ordinate a group on representative meetings ensuring feedback is logged and cascaded appropriately across the students union.
What we stand for
Our promises.
Our mission can be easily summed up in four promises we make to all of our members. Every single thing we do falls under one of these promises. We promise not to let up until we've made them all happen.
1: We promise to get you an amazing degree and job
We'll fill up your CV, make sure your course is great, and even give out fruit and water before exams. We'll give you all the tools you need to destroy the competition in interviews.
2: We promise to give you a kick-ass membership
Bars, coffee shops, restaurants, a nightclub, hair salon, even a cinema, all on campus. And hundreds of clubs and societies too. You'll never be bored at Essex.
3: We promise to let you shape everything
You're in charge of what we stock in our venues and how we work. You can vote by dropping a token in a box, and write on our walls. You control everything we do together.
4: We promise to be here for everyone
We're a mix of students from 135 different countries of every age, gender, sexuality, religion, year of study and shoe size. We'll look after you whatever.
