Taking Action on Inclusion
We're proud to be a friendly and inclusive team here at your Students' Union. We work hard to create an environment where all our people (our students, our employees and our volunteers) can confidently be themselves in and around their SU.
You've probably heard this all before. But here at Staffs Union, we mean it. We want every member of our community to be true to themselves and not feel it necessary to change how they act, think and present themselves just to 'fit in'
We may be proud of what we have achieved so far but it's not enough. We are committed to continually improving the culture of our charity and our community to be truly inclusive for everyone. We're not scared to admit that we still have a lot to learn.
Of course, we welcome applications to join us from all people in our community. However, we strongly encourage people who are female, people of colour and transgender people to apply to join our team as we want to better represent our community in our work, our culture and our future.
