This is an unpaid role, but travel expenses and all out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Trustee role will be reimbursed.

We are looking for individuals with skills in areas including the hospitality industry, legal, and HR - with the ability to influence strategic direction and business planning.

Experience of the students’ union movement, charity, or HE sectors, or a membership organisation would be an advantage. We are particularly interested to hear from applicants who have good personal local networks within Hull, and who live locally or within the Yorkshire area.
