What does this look like?

  2. Work with students to campaign on issues that matter to them
  3. Network with other SUs across the country to learn from them and improve the student experience nationally
  4. Represent students on national TV and radio, create interactive content, host award shows and organise events like the Carol and the Summer Ball
  5. Lead major SU campaigns like consent.ed and Cost of Learning Crisis

You’ll also be in charge of multi-million pound budget to improve student experience.

Sabbatical Officers

Sabbatical Officers are elected by students to represent them and their interests to LSE and across the sector.

A Sabbatical Officer is a full-time, salaried position - just like any other job - and is open to all students, at any stage of their study. We particularly encourage postgraduate, international, and students from marginalised backgrounds to apply.

You would be paid £31,040 a year, plus 25 days holiday and other perks.

Note: Sabbatical Officers will need to be available during the month of July for the induction period.
