Paying part time officers, power

from Working for Students

This week on the Membership Services Show Liv catches up with Liz and Nat from Lincoln Students’ Union to explore paying part-time officers. In a sector where volunteer leadership roles often clash with student financial realities, they reflect on how Lincoln SU’s governance review reshaped student voice, representation, and accountability – and what they’ve learned a year in. Later, Hannah Sketchley from NUS UK joins Alan to unpack the themes behind this year’s plenary sessions. From building a powerful student movement under a new Labour government, to representing students when the worst happens, she previews a stellar lineup of contributors – and hints at a few tactical disagreements worth watching. With Liz Wylie-Smy (Head of Student Voice, Lincoln SU), Nat Baldwin (Student Voice Coordinator, Lincoln SU), Hannah Sketchley (Senior Policy Officer, NUS UK), and hosted by Livia Scott (Partnerships Coordinator, Wonkhe) and Alan Roberts (Director, Counterculture).
