When a student asked for ''Creating more student jobs'' on campus, and campaigned for a few weeks, the idea acheived enough votes. Because of this idea, we transitioned our 10 voluntary School Representative roles into paid part-time Academic Rep Assistant jobs for students and made our voluntary Student Community Leader roles paid positions, alongside offering paid student jobs on our Welcome Desk, our Hive venues and to support our Marketing and Events teams.
