The Students’ Union are really keen to build a strong Union this year with dedicated Officers, so they are looking for people that are able to commit to building their roles and not just being part of the Union in name only. Come to it armed with ideas.

Student Advocate roles:-

The role of the student advocate is to provide support to individual students who feel that they have been unfairly treated by the College. The aim of such support is to ensure students’ rights are upheld, their views heard and respected and that they have fair and equal access to sources of support. The advocate will support students to represent their views and make sure that their voice is heard.

A Student Advocate may be required to support students in such circumstances as:

• Formal Student Complaints processes
• Failure of the College to meet Standards as set out in the Student/HE Student Charter
• Representation/Appeals related to the Student Disciplinary Process, Assessment and Academic Malpractice

Full training will be provided to successful applicants.

Hourly rate: £14.63 per hour (based on 2 hours per case)
