Presidents Explained...

As a President, you’ll get paid to work with us full-time for one year. Helping shape some of the biggest decisions at UWTSD, leading our work and what we do at the Students’ Union, and becoming one of our Charity Trustees and Company Directors.

The Group President role is open to all students. And the other President roles are open to students from those campuses, respectively.

These are full-time roles for one year - you must be graduating this academic year, or you'll need to take a study break to take up this role. They all pay a salary of £23,677 plus £3,000 London weighting if you live and work in London.

Trustees Explained...

Nearly all charities are led by a Board of Trustees. Student Trustees join the Students’ Union Board. The Students’ Union Board members are our final decision-makers and have responsibility for our success. This is our highest level of management and governance. Trustees have legal control over and are personally responsible for an organisation. You must meet certain legal criteria to be eligible to become a trustee.
