Student Trustee Recruitment

 Bolton SU has a vacancy for a Student Trustee for the remainder of this academic year (last meeting will be June 2024).

This is a fantastic opportunity for students who are interested in taking a voluntary leadership role in a charitable organisation which is led by students for students, and who has a desire to help students ‘love student life.’ This is an exciting voluntary role which can be undertaken alongside your studies, help you to develop valuable skills and increase your employability, all whilst representing the views of University of Bolton students.

The Process
The appointment of new Student Trustees is via application and interview.

Please complete the short application form, along with a short statement explaining why you are interested in the role of Student Trustee and what skills you will bring to the role (no more than 300 words).  Please submit your application form to the SU Office, Chancellor’s Mall or email j.galligan@bolton.ac.uk.

The application process is open until midday on Thursday 29^th February 2024. We will contact you with dates and times of the interview.

Eligibility
Becoming a Student Trustee is a fantastic way to get involved in the strategic direction of the SU and a great opportunity to build skills and employability. This role is open to all students, but you must be registered at the University of Bolton during the 2023/24 academic year whilst undertaking the role.

Student Trustees who sit on the Trustee Board for Bolton SU have the same rights and responsibilities as the other members of the Trustee Board. However, they will not be involved in the day-to-day running of the Students' Union, rather taking an overview of how the Union is performing both financially and strategically, and in delivering services to students.

If you need more information please do get in touch by contacting Janet Galligan, General Manager; j.galligan@bolton.ac.uk for an informal conversation.
