Part-Time
At UWS Students’ Union, we’re here to make student life better. That means being student-led, supporting campaigns that matter, and making sure students feel heard, included and represented.
We’re looking for a Communications & Digital Coordinator (Maternity Cover) to join our team at a time of exciting change. We’re transforming how students get involved in shaping their Union, and this role will play a big part in helping us tell that story.
This is a hands-on role where no two days are the same. You’ll be responsible for managing our digital channels and making sure our communications are clear, engaging and student focused. From promoting officer campaigns and supporting elections, to creating social media content and keeping the website up to date, your work will help connect students with the Union and each other.
You’ll also:
• Design digital and print materials that promote our services, events and campaigns.
• Support student reps and societies with their own publicity and visibility.
• Help shape messaging around our key democratic changes, including how students engage with decision-making.
• Track performance and trends using analytics, and suggest ways we can improve our digital engagement.
You’ll be part of a small, friendly and ambitious team that’s open to new ideas and committed to equity and inclusion. We’re proud to represent a diverse student population across five campuses – including Scotland’s leading widening participation university – so we’re especially keen to hear from people who understand how inclusive communications can break down barriers.
If you're creative, organised, and want to use your skills to help students thrive, we’d love to hear from you.
The application pack contains all the information you’ll need about the role, our Students’ Union, and the benefits of working with us. We’ve also included guidance on completing the application form to give you the best chance of being shortlisted for an interview.
