Elections 2025 – Opportunities to become a student leader
It’s an exciting time at East London Students’ Union! We’re on the lookout for our new Student Leadership Committee – that’s our next teams of student officers and school representatives.
Our student leaders are the voice of the student community. As elected representatives, they work on behalf of students at all levels, advocating for change in the University and working tirelessly to make the student experience the best it can be.
There’s no single type of person who makes a good student leader – the most effective Student Leadership Committee is one full of diverse backgrounds and perspectives. All you need is the desire to make things better for students and the drive to get stuff done. If you’re successful, we’ll train you up and help you develop the skills and experience you need to thrive as a student leader and beyond.
Becoming a student leader is an incredible opportunity for passionate people to make a difference for their student community and career prospects alike. See if you could reach your potential and apply today.
Whether you want to take a year out and dive into a full-time role (student officer), or think a part-time one would suit you better (school rep), there’s a role for you. If you think you’ve got what it takes, browse the opportunities below.
