Sports Union members have until noon on 21st March to nominate themselves for the 2025/26 Sports Executive team.

Our Sports Executive is a team of volunteers that work directly under the Sports President, with an array of workstreams to support the ongoing development of the Sports Union. Getting involved gives you the opportunity to experience student sport behind the scenes and be part of the bigger picture in the opportunities we aim to provide the student body through physical activity, wellbeing and sport. It is also an opportunity to enhance your work experience gained whilst at university, by applying and developing skills such as leadership, organisation, communication, problem solving, budget management, and team work.

Below is a brief summary of our eight positions and their functions:

• Vice Sports President - Deputising for the Sports President in their absence and driving forward the Sports Union inclusion agenda.
• Awards Officer - Supporting the annual awards process for the Sports Awards Ball.
• Events Officer - Supporting the development and delivery of a calendar of events based upon the interests of the sports club membership.
• Finance Officer - Supporting the financial management of all affiliated sports clubs.
• Governance Officer - Supporting the administration of club development and enhancing the 'ClubScore' initiative.
• Inclusion Officer - Supporting the drive of the Sports Union Inclusion agenda through campaigns, training and education.
