Positions up for election

Sabbatical Officers (x4)

Sabbatical Officers run your Union. They set the strategic direction of the organisation and represent all 25,000+ students at Greenwich University. They are here to enhance your student experience while studying at university. They are paid, full-time positions that span one academic year. Each role is different, with 4 different portfolios / job descriptions for the different officers (see the list below).

President
Vice-President Education & Welfare
Vice-President Campaigns & Representation
Vice-President Student Activities

The full job description for each of these roles can be found here (PDF)

Part-time Student Representatives (x8)

There are 8 part-time Student Representatives who represent students alongside the team of full-time Sabbatical Officers. Their terms in office also last one academic year, but though they are not paid they remain a really important part of student democracy at Greenwich. They take on student-led campaigns and help the Sabbatical team run the team. They are a big part of the wider Students' Union family.

NUS Delegates (x7)

NUS Delegates are elected every year to attend NUS National Conference in April of that year. The number of positions available is determined by the number of students studying at Greenwich. This year there are 7 delegates. NUS National Conference is a great opportunity to take important campaigns and issues that students care about, and take them forward at a national level.

If you would like to know more about any of the above positions then you can contact Peter Ptashko, the Representation & Democracy Coordinator at and on .

More information about these elections will be published here over the coming weeks, so watch this space!
