About the role

As our Student Groups Coordinator, you’ll play a vital role in supporting LUU’s award-winning student-led Clubs and Societies programme. You’ll empower student leaders to deliver fun, safe, inclusive, and competitive activities by coordinating development opportunities, engagement communications, and compliance with health and safety processes.

You’ll be embedded in the Student Groups team, empowering our student societies to take their plays up to Edinburgh Fringe, engage in student activism on campus, and even provide a peer-to-peer support service to support student wellbeing. You’ll provide tailored support to student leaders through training, regular check-ins, and project planning, ensuring they feel confident, celebrated, and equipped to lead.

You’ll also contribute to campaigns that showcase student achievements, ensure compliance with health and safety protocols, and maintain productive relationships with internal and external stakeholders to secure safe, high-quality activity spaces.

What we’re looking for?

You’re someone who thrives in a dynamic, people-focused role and is passionate about empowering others to lead and succeed. Whether you’ve gained experience through extracurricular involvement yourself or from a related professional role, you understand how vital student activities are to creating a sense of belonging at university.

You enjoy building strong relationships, solving problems, and helping others grow. You’re confident in communicating with a wide range of people: from students and volunteers to staff and external partners, and you take pride in delivering excellent service.

You’re also highly organised, able to manage multiple tasks at once, and confident using digital tools and systems. You have a good understanding of compliance and are comfortable giving guidance or escalating when needed. Most importantly, you’re excited by LUU’s vision and values and want to contribute to a vibrant, inclusive student community.

What you get in return

The benefits you can enjoy include generous holiday allowance as well as extra Union closed days, extensive opportunities for learning and further development, holiday buy back options, NUS TOTUM Card, onsite venue staff discounts, discounted travel card, and discounted gym membership.
