We won’t waste your time.
 
Here’s the deal: Money’s important—we all need it to get by, obviously. 💸
 
That’s why if you’re elected as a Sabbatical Officer, we’ll pay you a full-time real living wage salary for the year. And you deserve it, bestie. The work you do is important, and we value it—financially and metaphorically.
 
Now, you might be thinking, “Okay cool, but what the f**k is a Sabbatical Officer?”
Basically, it’s like being a politician for uni. You run in an election, tell students what you’d do in the role, they vote, and if you win—you take a year out of studying (or make it your first post-grad job) to work full-time improving student life.
 
Honestly? It’s a pretty sweet deal. It’s hard work, sure. A learning curve? Yep. But you get support, gain real experience, and hit the ground sprinting when you graduate.
 
The deadline is THIS FRIDAY. 🚨

The BUCS survey aims to understand the impact leading an active lifestyle has on student wellbeing by surveying both active and inactive students. This builds on the British Active Student Survey that was conducted in the 2019-20 academic year.

The findings from this research will be used to advocate for the sector on the value leading an active lifestyle has on student wellbeing.

BUCS will also be running several focus groups in the New Year to gain a broader understanding of barriers to being active and how students believe it can impact their wellbeing.

The survey will close on the 16th December.

Any student that completes the survey will be entered into a national draw to win 1 x £200 amazon voucher and 5 x £125 amazon vouchers.
