Would you like to come and work at the number one Students’ Union in Scotland (as voted in the recent Whatuni Student Choice awards)? Strath Union is looking for a talented individual to join our team as Advice Manager.

The Advice Manager provides strategic and operational leadership for Strath Union’s Advice Hub, ensuring the delivery of a high-quality, safe, and student-centred advice service. Working on a part-time basis, the role focuses on oversight, prioritisation, quality assurance, and the professional supervision of staff delivering advice and casework, rather than day-to-day operational delivery.

The Advice Manager plays a key role in shaping service priorities, managing risk, and ensuring the Advice Hub operates effectively within available capacity.

The role sits within Strath Union’s Management Team and contributes to wider organisational planning, particularly in relation to student welfare, wellbeing, and support. Given the part-time nature of the post, the Advice Manager will work closely with colleagues to ensure clear delegation, effective communication, and appropriate escalation arrangements are in place.

Strathclyde Students’ Union is committed to promoting diversity and equality for all and welcomes applications from candidates of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from applicants with disabilities, from ethnic minority backgrounds, and those with diverse sexualities or marginalised gender identities as these groups are underrepresented.
