Surrey Students' Union is the sole representative body for University of Surrey students. Our vision is simple: making sure our students have the best Surrey life. We represent approximately 16,000 students throughout every stage of their University experience, led by a team of elected student representatives and a dynamic staff team. We take pride in the outcomes we achieve for our members, and have recently been ranked as a top 10 Students' Union in the National Student Survey. We strive to be an employer of choice, where staff enjoy working in a varied and flexible environment. Culturally we foster inclusivity, openness and a friendly workplace where all employees are valued and understand the contribution they make to the organisation's strategic objectives.
