Kent Union provides wide-ranging services to students of the University of Kent, has annual revenues of over £7.5 million and employs 400 staff. Our services range from a nursery to a nightclub, an employment agency to small supermarkets and a welfare advice centre to coffee shops. Based in Canterbury, Kent Union is responsible for the Universities at Medway Students' Association and for providing services for students at campuses across Kent and on the continent. We believe we are one of the best students' unions in the U.K. and we are looking for two resourceful, committed individuals with strong political skills and acumen to join our Board of Trustees and help continue our improvement programme.
