All Full-Time Officers are also Trustees of the Guild. Trustees are part of a Trustee Board, and are governors/directors of a charity - they help to make decisions on a charity’s strategy, development, spending and operational processes. So as a Full-Time Officer Trustee of the Guild, you will help to make decisions on these things!
You also work alongside four Student Trustees (students who are recruited to volunteer alongside their studies), six External Trustees (recruited professionals from outside of the Guild who are experienced in a relevant industry (e.g. finance, education) and contribute an outside perspective to the Board), and a University representative (University staff member). The President is the Chair of the Board. More information can be found in in Byelaws 3 & 4, and more general information about being a Charity Trustee can be found on the Charity Commission website.
More information in general about each Full-Time Officer role can be found in the “Guild Officer Elections 2021 Guide” document and Byelaw 7. To find out more about what Officers do on a day to day basis and as Trustees, you can contact one of the current Full-Time Officers or the Elections Team at elections@guild.bham.ac.uk.
