East London Students’ Union has one vacancy on our Board of Trustees. This position is open to current students who will be students until at least May 2026.

If you are interested in supporting the Students’ Union in its aims to empower and support every UEL student, then we want to hear from you.

The Board of Trustees oversees the operations of the Students’ Union. It is responsible for our strategy, budget and governance. It is important to make sure our Board reflects the diverse student population at UEL, which is why we want to hear from all students and staff members.

We want to ensure our Board of Trustees reflects our student body so we are particularly interested in hearing from the following students:
- undergraduate students
- UK students
- women students
- students based in Stratford (Water Lane or USS)

How to apply

Trustees are selected through an interview process; it is not an election. You should attend one of the short information sessions on Microsoft Teams before you apply so you can ask questions. It's not mandatory to attend one of these sessions, but we recommend attending because this will help you to write a better application.
