The Positions You Can Run For

  • We’re looking for individuals to come forward and fill the gap in our Executive Committee for the rest of the Academic Year. There are 2 positions left to run for so that every student at TL is represented and has a voice as best as possible. The winning candidates will form part of the TLSU Executive Committee and hold their positions from October 27th 2025 to July 31st 2026. So let’s get straight into the details!

➡️Officers

There are also six Officers which cover the TLSU Executive Team each covering a different element of the SU. This is split into two categories, the Academic Experience Team and the Student Experience Team. Of course everyone can pitch in and come up with great ideas, but it’s good to have an area to focus on that’s all yours. The officer positions are as follows (We are only looking for the Music and Events Officers for this By-Election):

  • Music Officer – Academic
  • Dance Officer – Academic
  • Musical Theatre Officer – Academic
  • Events Officer – Student Experience
  • Welfare Officer – Student Experience 
  • Brand and Communications Officer – Student Experience
 

For the Music Officers you could think of yourselves as head student rep, or student course leader. It’s the academic experience teams job to bring together the views of all the students and try and make our education better. Because, let’s be honest, TL don’t always get it right and how can they improve without our feedback?!

We then have the Events Officer. Party planning will be important for you as well as coming up with amazing forward thinking ideas and working with the President and Operations Manager to curate large scale events for the Student Body.

All officer positions are critical to the smooth operation of the SU. You’ll liaise with your fellow students to get feedback on how everything is going and report back to the rest of the TLSU. Together, you’ll make a plan to run events, parties, classes and anything you can think of.

➡️TLSU Executive Officers

  • Music Officer
  • Dance Officer
  • Musical Theatre Officer
  • Events Officer
  • Welfare Officer
  • Brand and Communications Officer

Officers are voluntary positions but are eligible for a performance-based honorarium every term. This is £400 for Officer’s..
