*Internal Student Applications Only*

The Student Support and Development Team is seeking an enthusiastic and self-motivated student to support institutional efforts to research, consult and promote anti-racism and race equality. As a Student Consultant, you will play a crucial role in partnership with GSA’s Equality Officer to build upon the Glasgow School of Art’s (GSA) existing work to advance equality, diversity, and inclusion. This will include working in partnership to collate student work that promotes race equality and anti-racism, conduct research into the experiences of students from ethnic minority backgrounds, identify barriers, and explore opportunities to inform action to address these challenges. Your work will directly support GSA’s efforts to meet its National Equality Outcomes and contribute to shaping a more inclusive and anti-racist institution.

The successful candidate will have current experience studying at the Glasgow School of Art; have supported projects/research activities; undertaken desk-based research and consultation work, and have experience of report writing and presenting.

We value lived experience as a key perspective in this role. While being from an ethnic minority background is not essential, candidates who bring personal lived experiences of racism or race inequality are strongly encouraged to apply.

This role is a 0.2 FTE (7 hours per week) fixed term until the 31st of July 2025. Working hours are to be agreed with line manager at appointment.

For informal enquiries please contact Ingrid Bols, Enhancement and Student Partnership Coordinator at i.bols@gsa.ac.uk

Closing date for submission of completed applications is midnight Sunday 8th December 2024.

Interviews will be held Monday 16th December 2024 via Zoom.

If you have any questions regarding your application for this role, please contact hr@gsa.ac.uk
