Education Coordinator

We (Queen Mary Students’ Union) are a democratic, membership-led charity that exists to improve students’ lives. You will support this mission by working within our Student Voice Team, which supports student representatives and student decision-making including all student meetings, elections and referendums.

The Students’ Union supports over 28,000 students who make up the diverse and vibrant student body at Queen Mary University of London.

We’re looking for someone who brings a positive attitude when working with students and is passionate about improving the student experience. The role is student-facing, and you’ll be working closely with the elected student representatives and students in general, so it is essential that you have a good understanding of the needs of students, have excellent communication skills and can meet our students in an approachable and empathetic way. You’ll deliver training, support campaigning work, conduct desk-based research and produce briefings for our elected student reps. You’ll also coordinate the course rep system and work proactively with key contacts in the university to ensure the course rep system is running smoothly and provides effective representation for all students at course level.

The role is part of the Student Voice Team, which is responsible for a wide range of tasks, including elections, training of reps, liberation campaigns and democratic student meetings. We expect you to be able to work individually and as part of a team to achieve your own objectives as well as shared goals.

This is a full-time (35 hours per week), permanent position. The starting salary will be £33,263 per annum pro-rata, inclusive of the London Allowance, with annual raises by one point as set out in the QMUL Pay and Grading Structure. Benefits include 30 days of annual leave plus university closure days and bank holidays, a pension scheme, free gym membership, 20% off in our outlets, and an interest-free TFL/Railway season ticket loan. The role is predominantly in person, with some opportunities to work from home. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this further.
