The Union is fun, fast-paced and full of people who are passionate about supporting students.

No two days are the same, and that’s probably my favourite thing about working here. I’m naturally curious and love working with people across the organisation to support students and deliver great services to them.

There are loads of opportunities to learn and develop too, from qualifications and courses to learning on the job – and everything in between. The organisation really cares about its people, and I feel support to strike a good work/life balance. Especially important for me as I navigate life as a mum of young twins.
