Who are we?

At The Union, we’re here for one purpose: to represent, support, and empower every one of Manchester Met’s 44,000+ students. As an independent charity with roots dating back to the 1920s, we’ve grown into a vibrant, student focused organisation shaped by a century of advocacy, community building, and positive change.

Students sit at the heart of everything we do. Each year, a team of elected Student Officers works closely with our dedicated staff to deliver services, opportunities, events, and support that help students thrive academically, socially, and personally. We’re proud of the role we play in shaping the student experience and championing student voice.

As an employer, The Union is a place where people feel valued, supported, and able to grow. Our team describes the workplace as fun, fast paced, collaborative, and full of purpose. We offer a wide range of staff benefits and wellbeing initiatives, generous leave, learning and development opportunities, and a culture built on inclusivity and care, because looking after our people helps us look after students.
