Community and Wellbeing Officer

 

Reed James Community and Wellbeing Officer 2024/25   Hi I'm Reed, your Community and Wellbeing Officer for 24/25 About me. Course:  An undergraduate in history and politics with a year studying abroad.  Hometown: The great city of Worcester.  How do you think your friends best describe you? Friendly, talkative, and honest.   What inspired you to become an Exec Officer? To leave the university in a better place than when I found it. Since my first year,  I've always been engaged in student activism, whether that was being a course rep or a part-time officer. Not only because it was a good thing to do but because I really enjoyed it. As a result, becoming a full-time officer seemed like the logical final step if I wanted to continue making positive changes to improve the student experience.

 

What can you offer students in your role?  Although my official job title leaves me responsible for specific things like representing student views on wellbeing or student engagement with sustainability and volunteering or fundraising. To all students, I offer dedication and commitment, as being a full-time officer is a dream job and I intend to do my best to deliver results for students.        What is the most important change you want to make this year? Everything to do with food on campus, which is especially important due to the cost of living. Whether that is to do with changing the Free Breakfast programme to make it more based on  students' needs or campaigning to lower the university's high  food prices.        Hobbies and Interests What do you like doing in your spare time?  Whenever I get the occasional moment of spare time, I enjoy volunteering, reading, and spending time with friends and family.   Favourite Film/Series  This one might be a hot take but Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, it's just the best Star Wars film.  Favourite Band/s I'm actually more of a podcast person.
