The general secretary of the University and College Union (UCU) has announced that she is standing for re-election.
In a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, Jo Grady confirmed she will stand again for the role. Nominations close on Thursday, November 9, at 5pm.
Grady, who was first elected to the job in May 2019, pledged to release her manifesto “in due course” for the role, which is advertised with an annual salary of between £111,723 and £125,745, plus £5,058 of London weighting.
“I will set out my vision for the next five years, and I will campaign on the basis of being the best candidate possible to lead our union,” she said.
But Grady warned that there are currently “far more important things for me to be doing than electioneering”.
