About GUSRC

Glasgow University Students’ Representative Council (GUSRC or SRC) is an independent registered charity whose primary function is to represent and support all students at the University of Glasgow. As well as representing students, we provide a range of support services and social and personal development opportunities. The organisation is made up of a council of 40 annually elected student officers, led by 4 paid sabbatical student officers, as well as a team of full and part-time staff who are led by the Permanent Secretary and department managers.

Summary and background to the post

A key aim of the Advice Team is to provide high quality advice, information and representation to the students of the University. In addition, the casework coming through the Advice Centre is fundamental in forging the links between the actual issues facing students and the SRC’s campaigning priorities.

The successful candidate will spend a large amount of their time advising and advocating for individual students on a broad range of issues. They will also play a role in policy development through preparation of briefing reports and other policy-related tasks, to help shape and deliver the SRC’s policy and campaigning priorities.

The post requires a complex range of skills, knowledge and experience and it is unlikely that there are many individuals with the requisite expertise in all areas. However, we are committed to ensuring existing and new staff enjoy access to a broad range of training and personal development opportunities in order to build on current expertise and address any perceived gaps in knowledge.

Purpose of Post

The provision of high quality, impartial advice and advocacy, to students and prospective students of the University of Glasgow.

To enhance the SRC’s representative function through the provision of appropriate briefings, support, and training to student representatives.

We help young people to build life-long belief in themselves, supporting them to take on their own challenges, follow their own passions and discover talents they never knew they had. Because when you prove yourself that you’re ready for anything nothing can hold you back.
