Student Union Activator

Details Hide[-]

Student Union Activators are required across a selection of activities to implement new programmes for the academic year 2023/24 at the University of Salford Students’ Union. These activities are to be integrated and sustained within the new Give It A Go and Campus League programmes. These are primarily sport-centred roles and those volunteering should be aware a main part of their role will be attending and running the sessions, providing them with equipment and taking attendance. 

The activator roles aim to increase the participation of extracurricular and social activities at the University of Salford Students’ Union through the development, implementation and where appropriate delivery of a menu of opportunities to both staff and students.

These roles are ideally suited for students looking to gain valuable experience to enhance employability opportunities. The positions will involve the delivery of the activity, ongoing administrative work, promotion and with supervision, and budget management. Activators will be required to volunteer for a minimum commitment of 1 hour per week during the academic year (Semesters 1 and 2)

We currently have several Activator positions available across a wide range of activities. Where possible, we will allocate roles to preferred activities. These will include activities ranging from sports to creative activities and much, much more. There is something on offer for everyone!
