Equity and Inclusion Coordinator at University of Sussex Students’ Union

In this role, you will build links with relevant individuals and schools to improve the incorporation of independent student voice and feedback from marginalised student groups into University decision-making processes. You would be perfect for this role if you understand the impact of intersectionality and have experience in designing, delivering and evaluating training for others. Naturally, social justice, equality and human rights must be important to you.

The Student Engagement team works with diverse and marginalised student communities on issues they face while studying at Sussex University or when engaging with the Students’ Union. Our aim is to continuously push to be an inclusive organisation, meeting the needs of students from a diverse range of backgrounds and lobbying the University to do the same for an improved student experience and a better education.

“Fair isn't everyone getting the same thing. Fair is everyone getting what they need in order to be successful!” - Rick Riordan

The Student Engagement team is a diverse staff team and we are really committed to maintaining a diverse workforce because we know how important it is to have decision makers and collaborators with varied lived experiences and backgrounds that reflect the range of needs from our diverse student community.
