Student Advisory Board Member - Faculty of Health and Education 2026/2027

The Faculty of Health and Education is seeking to recruit 10 students to join the Faculty Student Advisory Board to help shape education policy and strategy and to provide feedback on innovations.

This is an exciting opportunity to have strategic input into developing education and student experience at Manchester Met whilst enhancing your CV and developing employability skills.

We aim to recruit students who are representatives of different courses, year groups and backgrounds. No previous experience of working within education is needed. This opportunity is open to student representatives but is distinct from the student union and the student voice committee process.

The Student Advisory Board will:

• Ensure the views, insight and experience of students are considered when developing faculty wide education and student experience initiatives and projects.
• Participate in and facilitate focus groups on thematic issues related to student experience, and success.
• Support the development and co-creation of strategies to support student experience, and success.
• Provide specific and targeted feedback on the inclusivity of education and faculty wide initiatives and communication.
• Contribute to shaping the ongoing remit of the Board – including themes or issues to discuss.

Please note: this is an occasional role. The Student Advisory Board will meet around every four weeks for around 2 hours. The first meeting will take place on the 7th December. You will be required to read any documents before the board and attend the meeting in person. There will be opportunities to undertake additional paid ad hoc work during the year on behalf of the Board.

This opportunity is available for current Manchester Met students who are enrolled on programmes in the faculty of Health and Education to apply for. All applicants must demonstrate on their application form or suitability statement that they:

• Understand this role involves using your unique experience and insight as a student within the faculty of health and education.
• Are confident in asking questions, contributing to discussions and making constructive suggestions.
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Can develop and maintain positive, professional and inclusive working relationships.
• Able to work effectively as part of a team or independently.
• Understand the importance of maintaining confidentiality.
• Have good time management skills and the ability to meet reasonable deadlines.
• Can demonstrate their reliability
