Purpose of the role

The Students’ Association for the Highlands and Islands is a membership-led organisation and its primary purpose is to be the recognised representative of students to the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI).

It is imperative that the role holder undertakes these duties within the office, unless otherwise agreed, as occasionally they may be the sole staff member within the office.

2. Be accessible to students to understand their issues and priorities and ensure services remain relevant to their needs.
3. Actively engage students through conversations, campaigns and events; present ideas on how to improve student engagement and where these are agreed, coordinate the activity, including planning and evaluation.
