Work with Us

The University of York Students' Union is a charity run by and for the 22,000 students at the University of York. From our hard-working teams at our award-winning venues to our CEO, we all share the same goal - to put students at the heart of everything we do.

You can find more detailed information on the SU website. We encourage you to review our Culture and Values framework to see what guides us.

Our Hiring Approach

• Essential Criteria: Don't be discouraged if you don't meet every point of the 'essential criteria'—some skills can be taught.
• Blind Shortlisting: We conduct blind shortlisting. Personal information unrelated to your training and experience is withheld from the panel. Your Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) information is only seen by the HR Team.
• Interviews: If invited, you will receive the interview questions a few days prior, we do this to try and take a little pressure off the interview experience, we want to get to know you without the worry that can come with interviews.
• If invited to interview please inform us of any reasonable adjustments you require for the interview.
• Flexible Working: Most permanent roles offer hybrid and flexible working options, and we are willing to consider alternative bank holidays in line with applicants beliefs (e.g., Ramadan/Diwali).
