There are lots of roles available, including School Reps, Committee Members, Appointments Panel Members and NUS Delegates.
Whichever role you apply for, you will be able to make positive change for students at UoB!
All of the roles are Part-Time, so they can be completed alongside any study commitments. For each of the roles, meetings may be online, in-person or hybrid, and any access needs of students will be considered. For more information about the mode of meetings for, and accessibility of specific roles, please email elections@guild.bham.ac.uk .
If you are looking for roles to apply for that aren't listed above, they may be included in our Autumn Elections College Rep Election.
The Applications Pack includes important elections documents (e.g. elections rules, wellbeing support), and useful resources to help you with your application and campaign.
All candidates must take responsibility to read these regulations and ensure that their campaign teams know about these. Not knowing about the regulations is not an excuse for breaking them. If the regulations are unclear or you need more help at any time, please email the Elections Team.
Please refer to Bye Law 8 with regards to Elections and Bye Law 6 with regards to Committees of the Guild.
The Guild believes that a Zero Tolerance approach should be taken towards any form of harassment based on defining protected characteristics that takes place in any of the Guild’s venues or events.
The University is committed to creating a working and learning environment free from harassment and discrimination in which all staff, students and visitors to the University are treated with dignity and respect.
The Complaints Procedure explains how we will deal with any elections complaints.
A student or candidate wishing to submit an election complaint must do so by using this Complaint Form. This must be sent by email to elections@guild.bham.ac.uk.
All complaints must be substantiated with evidence in support of their complaint where possible.
When you apply you must submit a written statement to tell everyone why they should vote for you, and a candidate photo. You can find advice on how to do this in the documents below.
