Shape the future of the MUN Circuit

Do you have what it takes to join the Secretariat of LIMUN-HS Edition X? See who we are looking for and apply today!

Deadline: 17.08.2025

2025 Secretariat and Chairs at Opening Ceremony

How to apply?

Applicants must submit their CV and cover letter by email to secretarygeneral@limun-hs.org.uk cc-ing dsg@limun-hs.org.uk by Sunday, 17th August 2025. Interviews will take place during the month of August. Please indicate your availability for interviews in your email or cover letter.

Applicants may apply for up to two positions, and the cover letter should be no longer than one page for both positions (if applicable). Please state in the cover letter which position is preferred. Applications should highlight any relevant experience (both MUN and non-MUN related), motivations for applying, and anything else that demonstrates your competence and commitment for the position. Applicants are expected to be enrolled in a UK university in the 25/26 Academic year - London-based applicants are prioritised, but this is by no means an essential criterion at all.

Secretariat members are expected to be able to commit to fortnightly online meetings in London during the first half of the tenure, and weekly online meetings during the second half. Most roles are expected to commit around 10-15 hours per week to their position, but there are busier and quieter periods depending on the role.

The LIMUN Foundation hopes that Secretariat members will be able to develop themselves both personally and professionally through such a large-scale project such as LIMUN. The Foundation will also offer other avenues to do so such as mentorship opportunities with the Board of Trustees, who work professionally and/or study across a wide range of sectors, including finance, politics, law, and research.
