About Leeds Trinity Student Union (LTSU)
LTSU is central to the University experience and works to support all aspects of student life for the 3500 students studying at Leeds Trinity University. Located in a vibrant and cultured city, we are an ambitious and diverse organisation, committed to supporting every student at Leeds Trinity University in achieving personal success.
We are committed to creating a positive impact for all students and we do this by representing, supporting and developing our students by running a variety of services including various sports clubs, societies, student representation, advice service and development opportunities to prepare our students for life after university. We create unforgettable experiences for students with various events throughout the year and our Student Bar is more than just a place to eat and drink!
We champion sustainability here at LTSU because we know it's an issue that students are passionate about. Our SMART sustainability plan sets out how we will work with our students and the wider community. Our campaigns have reduced our overall carbon footprint, launched outdoor gardening areas, reduced plastic waste and we are proud to have achieved the Green Impact Excellence Award.
We work closely in partnership with the University, and this will remain a big priority in the future, something we believe is very important to achieve the best outcomes for students.
About the role
Our next CEO will be someone who excels at building relationships and partnerships, being unafraid to advocate and challenge effectively to communicate the student voice and further the goals of the Charity. You will need to be an inclusive and empowering leader, able to bring people together towards a shared vision. You will be able to motivate our permanent staff and elected student leaders to thrive in their roles, providing support, guidance and development.
You’ll have a good understanding of charity governance, financial management and strategic planning. We have been through some significant change across our team over recent years and are looking for someone that will bring a clear vision and ambition for the Students’ Union.
We offer an inclusive and fun work environment and a very good overall benefits package. We’re a flexible employer and believe passionately in the wellbeing of our people. We’re also committed to ensuring our workforce reflects the diversity of the world and community we’re based in. We respect everyone's individual identity and celebrate difference and encourage applications from all candidates irrespective of background. We’d particularly welcome applications from candidates from Global Majority backgrounds and those who are disabled.
