Role Details

Your SU is a student led organisation. Through elections, our student membership decide who they’d like to see elected to Officer positions. These Officers will form a team which will lead the direction of the SU for the coming year. All election candidates put forward a manifesto (a set of aims they’d like to achieve if elected) which forms the basis of the work for the year. Our Officers are here to drive positive change and improve the student experience.

Elected roles at Your Students' Union:

Full-time officers are paid a minimum of £24,248 a year, and work approximately 37.5 hours per week in their role. Full-time officers represent all students studying across Coventry University Group, and focus on different elements of student life at the SU such as societies and sports, community groups, welfare and education. The exact remits of each Officer will be announced in December.

To be eligible for a Full-Time Officer position, you must still have current student status at the end of the Election period (13 February 2025). The duration of the role will take place from 1 June 2025, until 31 May 2026- you must also have right to work status during this period.


Part-time officers are paid a minimum of £11.84 per hour (plus holiday pay) and work up to 10 hours per week. Part-time officers hold their office alongside their studies and tend to represent a specific community of students (e.g. a College or Campus) or a specific area of the student experience.

To be eligible for a Part-Time Officer position, you must be able to fulfil a minimum of at least 6 months in post. The date of office starts on 1 June 2025, which means that you must have current student status until at least 18 December 2025, in order to be eligible to stand.
