The Positions You Can Run For

  • We’re looking for individuals to come forward and run TLSU for another year. There are 6 positions 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 August 1st 2026 to July 31st 2027.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:

  • 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, Dance and MT Officers, you could think of yourselves as head student reps, or student course leaders. 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 and Welfare Officers. Event planning will be important for you as well as stock management and coming up with amazing forward thinking ideas, but so will sitting on a couch having coffee and talking about problems, signposting students-in-need to help and much more. 

We then have our Brand and Communications Officer. You will be responsible for everything the Student body and wider see on our socials, working closely with the SU Administrator to ensure brand continuity within TLSU and ensuring everything that goes out is clear, effective, exciting and sticks within our guidelines. It will be your job to ensure everyone knows what’s going on with TLSU. It’s a big one but anyone with a love of social media, graphics or TikTok should definitely go for this one.

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.
