We're on a journey to become the world's most student-centred organisation and this is your chance to join us.
The Education Department is on a mission to put in the "student" into "students union" by raising awareness of the rights and responsibilities of the students status at Essex. We facilitate student co-production of their own education by supporting student representatives from module to university council level. We would particularly welcome applications from people who have an interest in training.
WHAT YOU'LL DO.
THE DAY TO DAY.
Reporting to the Educational Experience Manager you will be responsible for the facilitation of student representation for students in your faculty.

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.
