Lead UBU Fulltime
You can lead the Union in a full-time capacity as one of our four sabbatical officers.
The sabbatical officers take a year out from their studies (or immediately after their final year) and are paid as full-time employees of the Union! Substantial high-quality training is provided over the summer break. Starting in the final week of June 2021, and finishing in July 2022 you will be employed for one year as our most senior student leaders.
This is an incredible opportunity which will change your life and strongly support your career. It is also a major commitment just like any full-time job. Definitely an experience you will never forget. We're on hand to talk you through the role if you want to understand more before putting yourself forward.
