To ensure the Students’ Union is representing all members to the best of our ability, Student Voice Officers are appointed to represent students from groups with shared interests, experiences, or backgrounds. These officers play a crucial role in ensuring the Students’ Union is diverse, inclusive, and community driven.
Student Voice Officers plan and lead campaigns to enhance the student experience, especially for the groups they represent. They participate in Union and University committees, communicate with key stakeholders, and give feedback on reports regarding Union operations. Additionally, they promote and support Students’ Union events, ensuring a high-quality experience for all members.
If you are interested in representing the views of students from a similar background to yourself, then please get in touch with the Representation team at surepresentation@bnu.ac.uk.

Wilkie Ainsworth-Coles | BSc (Hons) Mental Health Nursing
"I chose to become a Student Voice Officer as a student nurse because I’m passionate about improving the quality of learning and support for my peers. Nursing can be challenging both academically and emotionally, so I want to ensure students feel heard and supported. I will strive to make sure student voices are not only listened to, but that real action is taken to improve their overall experience."
2026/27 Student Voice Officers coming soon!
