Elected Officers
Annual salary of £25,500 (TBC) • 37.5 hours each week • June 2026 - June 2027
Potentially your first "office job", though you won't spend much time at your desk! These roles are a pretty big deal so they're perfect for student leaders looking to kickstart your career. Since you'll be working full-time with us, you'll get loads of cool perks like a generous annual leave allowance, flexible working policy, gym discount & a wellbeing hour. Please note that as these are full-time roles, you would have to pause your studies for a year (if you aren't due to complete your course before June 2025).
President Community
Every student deserves to feel like they're part of the Herts community. We know this looks different for everyone - that some students might want to soak up every extra-curricular opportunity and that others simply want a seamless academic experience. So we need someone that can identify where there are gaps and advocate for students accordingly.
• You'll be a lead student representative for students at Herts
• You'll meet with the University's Vice-Chancellor, other sernior staff at the uni, local MPs and influential figures in the sector
• You'll work closely with other student leaders
• You'll work alongside a passionate team of staff at Herts SU
• You'll report at our Board of Trustees
Only open to students that have student leadership experience under their belt already
President Education
Every student has different aspirations and priorities during their time at uni, but there's no doubt that they all want to come away from Herts with the best degree outcome possible. As such, it's important that their academic interests are prioritised. That's where you'll come in! We need someone in the role that can advocate for the best academic experience possible.
• You'll be a lead student representative for students at Herts
• You'll meet with the University's Vice-Chancellor, other sernior staff at the uni, local MPs and influential figures in the sector

Society Committee Members
Voluntary • a few hours each week • June 2026 - June 2027
Call the shots for your society and develop your transferable skills along the way! Since this is such a part-time role, you'll get to squeeze it in around your studies and any other commitments. As one of our volunteers, you'll get to maximise lots of bespoke opportunities for personal & professional development throughout the year.
Society Committee Member
All societies are run by a committee of students, making every society completely student-led. Societies play a huge role in enabling students to form friendships and make lasting memories at uni. Being a Society Committee Member is a great opportunity to shape how your society runs, all the while giving your CV that extra edge. Be part of your society's leadership team to decide how it's run next year!
• You'll be part of the leadership team for your society, making all the big decisions
• Every society needs a Chair, Treasurer & Inclusion Officer. Pick the position that's right for you!
• You'll work with the other students on the committee to ensure your society is the best it can be
• As a student leader, you'll get to be involved in bigger picture things like Society Forums, Student Council, the Student Leader Conference & Students' Union Awards
