About Us

We’re Heriot-Watt University Student Union, an independent charity buzzing with energy, driven by and for our students. We’re all about doing good, that’s why all surplus funds generated through Liberty’s Cafe, Geordies Bar and the Student Union Shop are channelled straight back into crucial student support services like our Advice Hub. So, yes, we're a charity, but we also mean business.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

At HWSU, diversity isn’t just celebrated; it’s our strength. We thrive by bringing together voices from all walks of life, and we’re excited for you to help us champion this mission.

• Collaboration: Work closely with campus teams and stakeholders to make sure the dashboard meets their needs and expectations.

• Training & Handover: Share your knowledge by documenting processes and, if needed, teaching others how to update and use the dashboard.

Your Superpowers

• Tech Savvy: Proficient in Microsoft Power BI, with the ability to design, build, and optimise dashboards.

• Organised & Detail-Oriented: You’re great at managing your time and ensuring no detail gets overlooked.

• Self-Starter: You take initiative, work independently, and aren’t afraid to ask questions when you need to.
