Work with us

The purpose of this role is to deliver high-quality, efficient and responsive administration and coordination across Beds SU, while supporting a management-led project established to review and improve the union’s enquiry management system. 

Based in the Resources department, this role will work across all Beds SU departments providing much needed administrative support to the CEO and senior team and our elected Sabbatical Officers.

The workload is varied and will require an enthusiastic, dedicated and flexible approach; for the right candidate it will bring the opportunity to learn a wide range of organisational and communications skills. This post includes project planning and delivery and service delivery alongside administrative support.

The post-holder will ensure enquiries are managed effectively day-to-day and that systems, processes and service standards are embedded to support long-term sustainability.

Key Skills

The successful candidate must be able to take accurate minutes, which will require them to have a high standard of English and they must be computer literate. They’ll be required to maximise the use of common online and AI tools to operate efficiently in post.

Experience in a HE or membership led organisation is not essential but a willingness to assimilate to Beds SU’s culture and develop knowledge in the role is essential.

Managing confidential information securely and with tact and sensitivity is a must.
