Contract: Full time
Are you looking for a role as an ambitious and values driven leader, passionate about student experience? If so, we’re looking for a values driven leader who work closely with our elected officers, trustees and other stakeholders to progress our strategy and direction, making the University of Creative Arts Students’ Union (UCA SU) an inspirational students’ union.
About the Students’ Union
UCA SU represents 5,200 students, primarily across three main sights at Farnham, Epson and Canterbury. We are an independent democratic charity and membership organisation; we have student leadership at every level.
We're a democratic, membership organisation and all students at the University of Creative Arts are automatically members of the Union. Overall legal responsibility for the Students' Union rests with our Board of Trustees which is made up of three 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.
We have done a huge amount of work over the last 6 months to turn the organisation around to ensure it is wholly focussed on supporting our diverse membership who study at the three campuses. We have updated our staffing structure to have our expertise equally focussed on each campus and have also changed our sabbatical officer structure to do the same.
At UCA SU, we genuinely have creativity at our heart and are very excited to welcome a new CEO on Board who shares our values and passion for creativity.
We are currently carrying out detailed research into the needs of our membership, and we can’t wait for our new CEO to review this research with us to shape our new strategic direction.
If you’re passionate about students and student leadership, are creative, energetic, can understand the complexities of a multi campus site, and are a positive and motivational leader, we’d love to hear from you!
About the role
Under the direction of the Board of Trustees, the Chief Executive is accountable for the performance, management, development and sustainability of UCA SU and responsible for developing and leading the Union's services, strategy and objectives to meet students’ needs.
The Chief Executive Officer of the University of UCA SU you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of student engagement at a renowned creative institution. With increased institutional support and renewed commitment to delivering a brilliant student experience, you'll spearhead a transformative new strategy for the Students' Union. Your vision and leadership will empower students, cultivate a vibrant and inclusive campus community, and ensure UCA SU is a beacon of excellence within the sector.
This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with passionate student leaders, a skilled staff team, and a supportive Board of Trustees. You'll foster a strong partnership with the University, ensuring the Students' Union is a vital and valued partner in enhancing the student journey across all campuses. With your strategic direction, operational acumen, and championing of student voices, you'll lead UCA SU into an exciting new era.
If you are an energetic and inspiring leader with a passion for empowering students and driving positive change, this is your chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of talented and creative individuals at the University for the Creative Arts.
The successful candidate won’t necessarily need to come from the Higher Education sector, but you must be able to demonstrate a good understanding of the trends and issues that affect our students. You’ll have a good understanding of charity governance, financial management and organisational development.

Overview of FSUK
‘To put everything into one sentence. FSUK has positively changed my life in a time of darkness and I will forever be indebted to the charity for this. Thank you.’
Sam, Fowler’s Fox, 2022
Fowler’s Syndrome UK (Registered Charity number 1196903) is a unique patient and clinician led charity that works to raise awareness, promote education and encourage research into the debilitating bladder condition Fowler’s Syndrome. The condition solely affects women and Fowler’s Syndrome UK (FSUK) is the only charity in the world to directly support women with this condition.
Fowler’s syndrome is a life changing and currently almost untreatable condition, affecting up to 20,000 women in the UK. It causes full or partial urinary retention and solely affects women*, meaning they have problems passing urine due to a difficulty in relaxing the urinary sphincter. The peak age of onset is 26. It was first described by Professor Clare Fowler, Emeritus professor of Uro-Neurology at UCLh, and FSUK’s patron, in 1985.
We estimate that there are in excess of 20,000 women in the UK suffering from, but not necessarily diagnosed with, the condition, because of the lack of knowledge about Fowler’s Syndrome both from a patient and clinician perspective.
85% of women with Fowler’s Syndrome say the condition has had a severe or devastating impact on their life.
75% of those with FS have been told their urinary symptoms are due to anxiety or ‘all in their head’
There is low awareness of the condition among the medical community outside of specialist hospitals. Only an estimated 30% of GPs are aware of Fowler’s Syndrome. Once diagnosed, there are few resources available for patients and limited treatment options. Many women feel alone and unsupported.
Our mission is to provide resources, promote education and facilitate research into Fowler’s syndrome; so women with the condition have stigma free access to a timely diagnosis, suitable and effective treatment options, care and psychological support.
