About the Department
QMSU represents and supports over 28,000 students who make up the diverse and vibrant student body at Queen Mary, University of London. QMSU is a great place to learn and develop your career and you will be working with people who are excited to share their knowledge and help you learn new skills.
QMSU is an independent, membership-led charity that exists to improve students' lives. We collaborate closely with the University but have our own processes, governance, and missions. If you haven't worked in a students' union before or are interested in what makes it different, we encourage you to reach out.
About the Role
The Student Engagement Administrator will be the first point of contact for departmental queries and will provide operational and administrative support across the department.
You will help facilitate student groups and extracurricular activities within the Student Engagement Team. The team oversees a wide range of extracurricular activities that play a pivotal role in our goal to foster meaningful connections between students.
The Student Engagement department supports over 300 student-led groups (such as societies, student media outlets, and volunteering groups) and other extracurricular activities for students (such as charity fundraising and community volunteering). The department also runs student employability and sustainability initiatives.
Starting salary will be £28,879 per-annum pro-rata, inclusive of the London Allowance, with annual raises by one increment as set out in the QMUL Pay and Grading Structure.

We are looking for someone who can enhance the student experience, has a positive attitude,
and is committed to improving the inclusivity of our activities while providing excellent service. The successful candidate will be able to use their initiative and remain flexible when handling a variety of impromptu tasks. Applicants should have excellent organizational and communication skills, experience in administration, and the ability to work with a wide range of people from diverse backgrounds.
Benefits
Benefits include 30 days' leave per-annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed-term), plus university closure days and bank holidays, access to a generous pension scheme, an interest-free TFL/Railway season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly,
inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, campus facilities and free gym membership.
The role is predominantly in-person, with some opportunities to work from home. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this further.
Queen Mary's commitment to our diverse and inclusive community is embedded in our appointments processes. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for any candidate with a disability. We are open to considering applications from candidates wishing to work flexibly.
QMSU is proud to be an Equal Opportunities employer, and we are committed to equality of opportunity for all applicants regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability status, class,
or any other dimension of diversity. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for any candidate with a disability. We particularly welcome applications from Black and minority ethnic candidates, as this group is currently underrepresented within the Union.
