Many thanks for expressing an interest in working for Winchester Students' Union as our Student Voice Coordinator. At WinchSU, our commitment to meaningful student voice and representation sits at the heart of everything we do, and the role of Student Voice Coordinator is fundamental to our mission.
Our Student Voice Coordinator plays a central role in championing student voice and representation across Winchester Students’ Union. You will be responsible for coordinating the day-to-day delivery of the Student Academic Reps (StARs) scheme, supporting student leaders, and helping to ensure that every student has the opportunity to shape their educational experience. The role also supports the Union’s wider democratic functions, including Union Elections, and key engagement events throughout the year.
Working closely with elected Officers, University partners, and WinchSU colleagues, you will help build strong systems, deliver effective training, and create the conditions in which students feel confident and empowered to speak up. You will also play a vital part in gathering student insight, analysing trends, and ensuring that student voice contributes meaningfully to decision-making and campaigns.
You will be organised, proactive, and comfortable balancing multiple projects at once. We are looking for someone with strong communication skills, an ability to build relationships, and a genuine passion for student engagement. Experience in student representation, education, or democratic processes would be valuable, but what matters most is your ability to support others, think creatively, and bring clarity and enthusiasm to a varied and exciting role.
This is a great opportunity for someone who cares about student experience and wants to make a tangible difference. If you are motivated by empowering others, facilitating positive change, and helping students to have their voices heard, we would love to hear from you!
