We represent approximately 17,000 students on every level of their University experience, led by a team of elected student representatives and a dynamic staff team including over 150 student staff. We take pride in the outcomes we achieve for our members and are currently ranked within the top 20 Students’ Unions in the country in the National Student Survey. We strive to be an employer of choice, where staff enjoy working in a varied and flexible environment.

Culturally we foster inclusivity, openness and a friendly workplace where all employees are valued and understand the contribution they make to the organisation’s strategic objectives.

The Community Zone is also responsible for organising showcase events throughout the year such as graduation ball, Union awards evenings, cultural and democratic events.

Our main venue, Rubix, is one of the biggest licensed venues south of London, a truly multi-purpose venue. Its core nights are Wednesdays and Fridays, but there is always something going on throughout the week. It’s part of the Student Union venue family and you will be joining the compact team running our spaces across both campuses whilst primarily focusing on our main venue.

We pride ourselves on creating fun and safe environments where students can meet people, socialise and make lasting memories of their time at Surrey.
