EC Students’ Association is run by a team of elected students, also known as Full-Time Officers. Every year we run elections to vote for a new team, and that’s why we need you!
We are here to represent all students across the four campuses of Edinburgh College. The needs of our students are always evolving, which is why every March, we host our College-wide elections for the Student President, Vice President Welfare, and Vice President Activities positions. These three Full-Time Officers will work full-time from 1st July 2025 – 30th June 2026, representing students and improving their experience at Edinburgh College. It’s an amazing opportunity to take a stand and influence change in College life. It’s also a chance to have a rewarding and flexible job where you can develop lots of transferable skills. The salary is £25,472 for 35 hours per week.
Each of the three Full-Time Officers have a remit they work on.
- The President focuses on education, learning and teaching, and represents students at the College's Board of Management
- The Vice President Welfare works with the College to ensure good student mental health, and leads on wellbeing events
- The Vice President Activities works toward designing and promoting events and activities to enrich student life
Each of the Full-Time Officers also have the freedom to come up with projects that they believe would make the student experience at Edinburgh College the best it can be.
