This is a fantastic opportunity to gain a variety of skills through being involved in a varied role across different areas of Membership Services at Sunderland Students’ Union.
Over the past year we have undertaken a Democracy and Governance Review to revitalise the way our students interact with their Students’ Union across both the Sunderland and London campuses. The findings of the review have highlighted the need for the SU to make a clear shift from the more traditional styles of SU democracy, facilitating instead, a community organising model.
