This could include promoting student voice through feedback tools, surveys, focus groups, forums, campaigns, and consultations.
Working collaboratively with colleagues across SUBU and BU, the role delivers student driven projects and feedback activities, acting as a key point of contact for student reps, and maintaining strong relationships across services.
The role involves the use of creative and varied marketing and communication methods to reach diverse student population, ensuring student voice work is inclusive and equitable, and supports the development of the Student Rep role and the wider SUBU Student Voice mechanisms.
