The President is responsible for chairing all JCR hall meetings and has to attend the SUSU JCR Committee where they are a voting member. It is the Presidents job to be the voice of residents in these meetings and bring up any issues relating to their hall. The President will also have an overall responsibility for organising and co-ordinating the events run by their JCR. They will liaise with the Student Activities department in order to achieve their goals.
The Vice President helps support the President to carry out their duties, standing in for the President if needed, and also sits on the SUSU JCR Committee. The President and Vice President are ultimately responsible for everything their JCR does and should support all the other officers in their various roles.
The Treasurer is in charge of the budgeting of all events, campaigns and any money allocated to sports teams of their hall. They are also responsible for ensuring accurate records are kept of all income and expenditure. Along with the President they hold responsibility for any money taken in the course of the JCR and it is their job to make sure it is calculated correctly and accounted for. Each JCR gets a budget set at the start of the year and it’s up to the treasurer to keep track of this.
The Secretary takes the minutes of each JCR hall meeting and is responsible for making sure that these minutes are stored, sent to SUSU and made available should anyone request them. They are also responsible for making residents aware of when JCR hall meetings are happening.
The Campaigns Officer runs and promotes SUSU campaigns and makes their President aware of any particular issues in hall so that they can be brought to the attention of the Union. They sit on two SUSU committees (Welfare committee and Environment and Ethics committee) and have a change to get a direct input on current issues.
The Sports Officer is responsible for promoting the existing hall sports teams and if necessary helping set up new teams. The Sports Officer should be available for the sports teams to contact when they have problems, want to promote their team or want to request funding from the JCR. In some halls this role is split in a male and female Sports Officer.
