Sabbatical Officers and Student Officers

Each year a team of students is elected to lead your Students’ Union, setting the agenda for the Students’ Union over the next academic year.

Sabbatical Officers

Sabbatical officers are paid positions responsible for setting the direction for the Students' Union each academic year. They oversee and support the Student Officers and other voluntary officers in their roles throughout the year.

Student Officers

Student Officers

Student Officers are responsible for running and representing specific groups within the Students' Union. These roles could relate to the running of SUSU’s clubs and societies, advocating for sustainability within faculties, or improving the experiences of students from underrepresented backgrounds. Some roles, such as the Women’s Officer, are only open to students within that specific group.

Student Trustees

Student Trustees

The Trustee roles are voluntary, unpaid positions. The officers in this role will be entrusted, together with other trustees, with overall responsibility for the work that the Students' Union undertakes. They focus on the strategic direction of the Students' Union, ensuring that the Union creates and implements strategies that meet its objectives.

Union Senators are elected to represent the student body, and to evaluate the work of our sabbatical officer team. Any current student at the University of Southampton can become a member of Senate and speak on behalf of the student body on the issues debated at Senate.
