Do you want to join our Board? We have an exciting opportunity for three current University of Leeds student to join our Board of Trustees. This is an excellent opportunity to gain leadership experience at the highest level on the Board of a vibrant organisation.
You will be directly involved in the strategic work of LUU by sitting on the Board, attending meetings and attending subcommittee meetings. We welcome applications from all courses, levels and modes of study, but we are particularly interested in representation from international, postgraduate and mature students and students from diverse backgrounds.
To be eligible you must be registered on a University of Leeds student course up until the end of the 2026-27 academic year. This is because the successful candidate will be appointed to an initial term of two years, and they must be a student for the full length of that time.
You’ll be part of the group responsible for overseeing and guiding our future growth, and helping us achieve our vision of making sure that every student loves their time at Leeds. The Board comprises our six elected student officers, four external representatives from business and industry, and four appointed students.
If you are a confident, motivated individual with the ability to think strategically and creatively, we want to hear from you! To find out more just download our information pack (below) which includes a role specification, and some Trusteeship FAQs.
