Student Voice Manager
Who we are:
Part business, part charity, part membership body – students’ unions are all seriously fun places to work. They are organisations in their own right. Professionally run, but different. Professional teams support elected student leaders to make change, improve lives and fulfil potential; we help make it happen.
Founded in 1897, LSE Students' Union is one of the oldest Students' Unions in the UK and is the representative and campaigning body for students at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). We also fund and facilitate student activities on campus, including societies, sports clubs, media groups, and raise money for charities via Raising and Giving (RAG) initiatives.
About the job
Are you an inspirational leader who cares about empowering the voice of students and delivering genuinely impactful change?
Do you like working in fun, dynamic and varied roles in which no two days are the same, and that possess significant development and growth opportunities?
If so, then you’re in the right place, and the Student Voice Manager role might well be the position for you!
Armed with a bold and ambitious new strategy, there couldn’t be a more exciting time to join our organisation.
LSESU is seeking to set the global standard for what it means to be a world class students’ union, and this role sits right at the heart of that lofty ambition.
With a renewed, strategic focus on policy, this position will play a leading role in establishing a policy function that will enable us to be the definitive and credible home of student voice at LSE. A function which will become even more important when we enter the second stage of the strategy in 2026, when student voice will become the central strategic focus of the organisation.
Sitting within the broader Student Voice Department (alongside the Advice Team), you would lead a friendly, talented team of four permanent Student Voice Coordinators (SVCs) who together account for all of the Union’s policy, democratic, representation and campaigning work, alongside a part-time member of student staff.
Variety is hard-wired into the role. In addition to overseeing policy and research output, you would be responsible for leading a democratic and governance structure that is so innovative it is currently the source of an international academic study. Accountabilities here would include delivery of our biannual student elections and sector-leading Student Panels.
You would also be responsible for leading on how we support our elected student representatives and campaign groups; and for the Union’s academic representation work.
Given the breadth of work undertaken within the team, expect there to be plenty of opportunities to grow, develop and pick up new skills outside of the main responsibilities of the role.
Who are we looking for?
This role is fast-paced and so you’ll need exceptional organisation and planning skills, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities at once in a calm, effective manner.
The team you will be managing cuts across several areas and contains five people. We’re therefore looking for a confident leader with line management experience who is able to inspire, motivate and develop a talented and ambitious team to reach their full potential.
You will be a kind, supportive leader who cares about the people in their charge, but who also has high standards and that is able to performance manage when needed to ensure the team meets expected standards and delivers expected results.
We are looking for someone with exceptional written and verbal communication skills; an ability to interpret complex information and present it in a concise and accessible manner; and with experience of delivering high quality research and policy output.
With responsibility for leading on several projects, both within the team and cross-organisationally, prior project management experience and knowledge will be important, as will the ability to liaise with stakeholders at all levels.
Knowledge or prior experience within Higher Education or the student movement would certainly be an advantage, but is not essential and we very much welcome applications from those outside students’ unions who have transferrable skills and a who possess a willingness to learn.
We want to be the best, and for that we want to recruit the best. If you share our ambition and want to join a fun, supportive team seeking to set the benchmark for excellence in the sector, we would love to hear from you.
Why apply?
Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring and creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces.
Benefits and Perks
In return for your passion and experience we offer:
● 25 days holidays per year
● Additional closure periods at Christmas and Easter on top of your 25 days annual leave and bank holidays
● Free LSE Students’ Union gym membership, advice from dedicated sports professionals, wth a wide range of activities including yoga classes, dance classes, pilates classes available free for SU staff
● Cycle to Work scheme enabling significant savings on a bicycle purchase
● Access to LSE staff training courses
● Ability to purchase TOTUM (NUS) card giving wide range of discounts
● Flexibility for work-life balance
● Interest-free Travel loan
How do we recruit?

Part 1. Complete a Supporting Statement, telling us about your suitability for the role (this is what will be used to determine if you are shortlisted for an interview).

About the Education and Employers charity
Education and Employers is an independent UK based charity launched in 2009 with the vision of “providing children and young people with the inspiration, motivation, knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to help them achieve their potential”. It aims to achieve this by working with schools, employers, the national bodies that represent them and a wide range of other partners including the government and third sector organisations. The charity also works with partners internationally – more details visit our website.
The charity runs Inspiring the Future, a free service which uses innovative match-making technology to connect volunteers with state schools and colleges, quickly, simply and at scale. Schools can very easily search a massive database of willing volunteers, filter against a wide range of criteria – e.g. subject, sector, career route and send them a message. It enables young people, wherever they live, whichever school they attend, the opportunity to meet people from a wide range of backgrounds doing jobs from across the whole world of work.
Over 90,000 people have already volunteered in the UK - people from all levels: apprentices to CEOs and all sectors: apps designers to zoologists and over 85% of English secondary schools have registered. People can volunteer from an hour a year in a local primary or secondary school to chat informally about their job and career route, take part in career speed networking session, give careers insights, provide mock interviews or feedback on CVs through to serving as a governor or trustee. There is also the opportunity to link up with schools for workplace visits, job shadowing and mentoring.
Inspiring the Future operates on a technology platform kindly developed in partnership with Deloitte, Salesforce and Ordnance Survey. It allows the charity to run national campaigns others focused on specific geographic areas or economic sectors such as engineering, science, health and arts and culture. The campaigns have secured high profile support across government, business and teacher associations and ongoing corporate partnerships including our lead corporate partner Bank of America.
In partnership with the National Association of Head Teachers the charity has developed a version for primary schools called Primary Futures and over 6,500 primaries have already signed up. To see a short clip on how it works please visit our website. All campaigns run through Inspiring the Future share a common objective: to broaden young people’s horizons, raise their aspirations and show them the range of opportunities and careers routes e.g. apprenticeships and university open to them. Over 3.5 million interactions between young people and volunteers from the world of work have already taken place.
The charity runs Inspiring Governance the free governor recruitment and support service. This Department for Education funded service aims to get highly skilled volunteers to serve as governors in some of the most disadvantaged schools in England and in so doing help raise educational achievement.
Since the Charity’s launch it has sought to understand what difference employer engagement in education makes to young people and the economy. It works with academics and researchers from around the world and its own research is regularly cited by government and international organisations like the OECD. The research, which has informed and influenced a range of government policies, shows that employer engagement helps improve social mobility, reduces the likelihood of young people becoming NEET (not in education, employment of training), increases the amount they earn in adult life, helps them make better informed career choices and leads to improvements in educational attainment.
Ensure that every young person in our country has the opportunity to meet a diverse range of volunteers to hear about jobs and the world of work.
