About The Role
The Graduation team regularly sees 12,000 students attend ceremonies each year and the post holder will assist in the preparation, organisation and administration of these important university events, and aim to provide a high-quality experience for all our staff and students. Working collaboratively with services and faculties across the institution, the post holder will provide quality customer service for stakeholders, responding to enquiries effectively and appropriately and continually seeking opportunities to enhance the student experience.
This is an exciting opportunity for candidates looking to support student engagement, and who wishes to utilise their skills and expertise in planning large scale events and stakeholder management. We aim to deliver high-quality, market leading events that the University can be proud of, and which provide a brilliant experience for our students.

As a team, we are friendly and supportive and will value applications from those who will sign-up to our way of working. We support each other’s events and projects and collaboration is a key aspect of our team ethos. We offer a flexible working structure (core hours between 10am – 4pm), with a mixture of remote working and together as a team in our Central-London offices. During peak periods (May-July, November-January) additional days in the office will be required as standard.
