We represent the interests of around 200,000 students and campaign on their behalf in many different fields such as student hardship, health, prejudice and accommodation. Collaborating with 11 amazing member students’ unions, we provide a range of services and support for them. Working within a small team in Belfast, backed up by over 220 creative USI and NUS colleagues across the island of Ireland you will be working together every day to support elected student leaders - as they make change in the world and improve the lives of students - we help make it happen!
What’s the job?
Innovate, engage and support – that’s’ what our members expect from us. We’ve come a long way and now we need you to create the next steps in NUS-USI’s development. We have an extremely successful record in supporting and developing the capacity of elected student officers and students’ unions, a key part of our mission to champion and build strong students’ unions as well as promoting, defending and extending the rights of students studying in HE, FE or for an apprenticeship. So, come and do something you love, somewhere a little bit different.
