Purpose of Role


The Student Voice team delivers a variety of activities within the Students’ Union, including policy, research, academic representation, Collectives and significantly more. Across all of our areas, we support approximately 500 student leaders in a variety of roles.


Over the last five years our work within the field of research and insight has developed considerably and, using in-depth student insight, we have produced several high-quality Student Voice Reports and Student Insight Reports for smaller pieces of research which have focused on various student experiences on campus. These reports very much form the basis for discussions with the University to seek improvements to student experience through a list of recommendations.


This role will support the delivery of high-quality research into the student experience at Royal Holloway. The successful candidate should have a commitment to supporting equality and diversity, have experience of conducting high quality research projects, with very strong verbal and written communication skills and a keen attention to detail.


The nature of our research work means that there are peaks and troughs of activity and we cannot commit to set weekly hours. As such this role would suit someone who is happy to be flexible with their hours.
