Students have recently reshaped our democratic structures through the Democracy Review. At the same time, the University is moving from four Schools to three Faculties. As academic structures change, our representation systems must align clearly and remain effective.

This role will spearhead the implementation of our new democratic and student voice structures, focusing on increasing engagement and the effectiveness of our representation systems.

This role ensures that student voice is not only heard, but understood and acted upon.
