Falmouth & Exeter Students’ Union
Chief Executive Officer
Salary: £63,000-£65,000
Location: Falmouth and Penryn, Cornwall
Contract: Full time
Are you looking for a role as an ambitious and collaborative leader, passionate about student experience? If so, we’re looking for a visionary leader who work closely with our elected officers, trustees and other stakeholders to progress our strategy and long-term sustainability of the Students’ Union.
About the Students’ Union
We exist to represent over 8,000 of our members who are based mainly in Cornwall, but additionally we have a growing number of online and partnership students. Two-thirds of these are Falmouth University students and the remainder are from the University of Exeter. We are almost unique in the UK in serving two student cohorts from different universities some of whom share a campus. This presents an unusually complex context within which to exercise leadership. The students’ union operates across three sites. The Falmouth campus in the centre of town is solely for Falmouth’s Arts students, while Exeter’s medical students are based at a site in Truro. The Penryn campus is where most students are based and its successful operation is heavily reliant on a partnership between the two universities, FX Plus, a services company which delivers many of the central services on campus and the students’ union. The new CEO will have well-developed stakeholder management skills and the ability to engage effectively with complex partnerships in the interests of our students.
About the role
The Chief Executive will provide visionary leadership to ensure the long-term sustainability and strategic development of the Students’ Union (SU). Under the direction of the Board of Trustees, the Chief Executive will drive the performance, development, and financial health of the SU, aligning its operations with its mission, vision, and values. This role requires fostering a collaborative and inclusive culture, supporting and empowering elected student leaders, and maintaining strong relationships with key stakeholders across Falmouth University and the University of Exeter as well as, FX Plus and the wider community.
The Chief Executive will work day-to-day with full-time and part-time elected student officers to communicate and implement the SU’s strategy and priorities effectively. The SU serves a diverse student membership from both universities studying in Cornwall. These students, although from different universities, share their university experience outside the lecture and seminar rooms, making it essential to enhance their overall student life and community engagement.
Additionally, the Chief Executive will lead strategic planning, implement effective governance, and enhance the internal and external reputation of the SU, ensuring it meets the needs of its diverse membership and key stakeholders.
We're a democratic, membership organisation and all students at the are automatically members of the Union. Overall legal responsibility for the Students' Union rests with our Board of Trustees which is made up of four full-time Sabbatical Officers, four student trustees and three external trustees. The Sabbatical officers are elected each year by, and from, the student membership of the University. They take a year out of their studies (or immediately after graduating) to take on a fulltime paid staff role and to serve as a trustee.
Closing Date: Tuesday 27th August 8am

Final Interviews (In-person at the Penryn campus): Wednesday 11th September
