EXTERNAL TRUSTEE (VOLUNTEER ROLE)
Undeb Aber represents the interests of 6500 students at Aberystwyth University.
We want Aber students to love student life and our Trustees are key to ensuring that our Students’ Union has the strategic oversight, leadership and guidance to make that happen!
We are looking for an enthusiastic external Trustee to join our Undeb Aber team and enhance our Trustee Board.
We believe that the best Trustees are passionate about what Students’ Unions are trying to achieve, so if that’s you then we want to hear from you whether you are experienced in Students’ Unions, or we would be totally new to you.
As an inclusive organisation we want to ensure that we have a Trustee Board that reflects our student population demographics and the needs of our membership. We are particularly keen to hear from Welsh speakers, women, LGBTQ+, disabled and/or neurodiverse people and/or people from black, Asian or mixed ethnic backgrounds

VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES
Are you a current student? If we have no vacancies at present or a particular role doesn’t fit with what you’re looking for, there are other avenues to explore.

Our workplace champions the right of staff to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black employees’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance.
We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps.
In this workplace, we recognise and celebrate our colleagues’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on an employee’s ability to succeed.
