Who we are

Hiya! We're JMSU - a students' union in the heart of Liverpool City Centre and we represent all students at Liverpool John Moores University.

As a part business, part charity, and part membership body – our role is to ensure that 27000 students get the most of their at LJMU and in the amazing city of Liverpool.

We put our students at the heart of everything we do – whether it’s planning events, helping to develop campaigns, providing them with opportunities to make friends and learn something new, and everything in between.

We’re a small but mighty team and we are growing so, if you’re on the lookout for a role in a friendly, hard-working environment which offers bucketloads of autonomy, support and fun, we want to hear from you. 

Taking Action on Inclusion  

At JMSU, we are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace We're proud to be a welcoming, friendly and inclusive team and want all our people to confidently be themselves and feel they belong.  

We are also not scared to admit this is a work in progress! We know the importance that students see themselves reflected by our staff team and we welcome applications from all backgrounds.  We particularly encourage applications from LBGTQ+, and Ethnicially Diverse candidates who are under-represented within our core staff team

Guaranteed Interview Scheme for Ethnically Diverse/Global Majority applicants

We know applicants from Ethnically Diverse backgrounds may have experienced additional barriers when applying for a new role.

At JMSU we are taking positive action to address an underrepresentation within our core staff team.  We’re offering candidates from ethnically diverse backgrounds a guaranteed interview where they meet the essential criteria for the role. Please see our website for further details.

If you don’t meet every single requirement? If you are excited about this but there are criteria you don’t match exactly, please don’t be put off applying. It may not be a deal breaker - just make sure you get across why you think you're right for it and how the gaps may be approached. Even if not right for this role, you might be perfect for another
