Full-time officer elections

Every spring, Goldsmiths SU runs elections for full-time sabbatical officer positions. The positions are fantastic opportunities for personal and professional development, and allow to you to make real change in the lives of students. 

As long as you are a current student, you can run to be a full-time officer. This means you take a year out of your studies or immediately after your studies to represent students. The role is paid at £23,000 a year. 

The four full-time officer positions are:

  • President

  • Campaigns and Activities Officer

  • Education Officer

  • Welfare and Liberation Officer

Part-time officer elections

In the first term, Goldsmiths SU will run elections for part-time officers. The part-time officer positions are voluntary and can be done while you are still a student. You will be supported by the staff to put on events, run campaigns and represent students. 

Part time officer positions

The part-time officer positions are: 

  • BME Officer

  • Disabled Students' Officer

  • International Students' Officer

  • LGBTQ+ Students' Officer

  • Trans and Non-Binary Students' Officer

  • Union Chair

  • Women's Officer 

Why should you run?

As a student leader, you already have lots of transferable skills which may make you suitable for these positions. These include:

  • Project management

  • Budgeting

  • Critical decision making

  • Public speaking experience and confidence

  • Moderation of debates within committee

  • Event management

Most importantly, you know your peers! You have already shown that you are a student leader, so why not use your experience and knowledge of Goldsmiths Students' Union to transform it for the better?
