Find out more about the role and its responsibilities. You can only apply for one position so read them all to find the role you are best suited for.
As VPSA, your primary role is to focus on societies and extra-curriculars, and the bulk of your job will be representing them as a whole across the University. A big part of this will revolve around raising their profile, engaging more students, running campaigns, and working with the Sports Union too. Don’t forget about the big one too – employability! All these extra-curriculars and transferable skills are what employers seek, so ensure you are preaching far and wide to the students about the opportunities available on campus that will benefit them in the future.
One of your key responsibilities will be chairing the monthly Societies Council and the Societies Funding Panel. You will also work alongside the Societies Officer to keep all things society-related running smoothly. Finally, like the other members of the Student Executive, the VPSA is also a Trustee of DUSA, and works together with the Additional Trustees to ensure an effective and positive impact on DUSA’s governance and strategy.
Keep in mind that this is a Non-Sabbatical Role meaning that you will be doing this alongside your studies for up to 8 hours a week!
