Joining the Student Union Leadership Team.
The Student Union Leadership ensures that the College maintains its strong student voice. While in the post, you can gain many transferable skills and values including democracy, communication and teamwork skills; it is valuable life experience to gain and include on a CV, UCAS personal statement, or a job application.
All students are members of the Student Alliance when enrolled at Varndean College and everyone is welcomed and encouraged to participate in the annual student elections. This is not only to gain the position of a Student Union Officer, but also because participating in the campaign is an enriching experience and fun! The officers’ roles include: Communications Officer, Democracy Officer, Enrichment Officer, Environment Officer, EDI Officer, Marketing Officer, Charities Officer.
The leadership team leads the Student Council – a group of students representing their peers and who are keen to be involved. These students meet to discuss important issues and share feedback to the team of officers who run this.
