My role - the two main elements of my job
|
As one of the team of Sabbatical Officers, my job was to support and facilitate the work of the Students' Union. This involves a variety of different roles, from negotiator to advocate, and from representative to public-figure. |

As Academic Affairs officer, I also had responsibility for a number of areas of activity of the Students' Union, including academic advice and representation, training and personal development and volunteering. |
Background - What is a Students' Union?
The University of Bath Students' Union is a membership-led organisation, working for the over 10,000 students of
the University of Bath. These include students on the main University campus and at a number of associated colleges in the region.
The Students' Union exists to represent its members and provide them with services, support and opportunities for development to
enable them to maximise the benefits of their overall student experience.
The Students' Union is run by the students, with strategic direction and coordination provided primarily by seven students known
as Sabbatical Officers. These are elected annually by the students in a University-wide election, and spend a year working full-time for the SU.
The activities of the Students' Union are funded through a combination of funding from the University, and revenues generated from
commercial activities - resulting in an organisation that spends over £11,500 a day.
