Events Assistant

This is an exciting opportunity to join a small and successful events team at a not-for-profit organisation, which leads in providing the university sector with topical and pertinent events. 

This role will support all four of the event functions: logistics, content, sponsorship and marketing. You will work closely with the Senior Events Manager, handling all delegate and speaker correspondence, taking a key role in the running of the events programme, both in-person and online, and taking the lead on managing logistics for some of the in-house seminars and workshops.

The working hours for this role are largely Monday-Friday 9-5, although a willingness and ability to work out-of-hours is necessary. Events typically take place during working hours, however early starts/late finishes are required on event days. Weekend working is not typically required.

The role is based in central London, however the post holder can choose to work remotely for up to three days a week. They must be available to attend the office for event days and for other core business reasons.

Please note that Universities UK operates a hybrid working framework involving the opportunity to work from home and in the office.  There will be a small number of roles where employees will be required to work from an office, but typically the majority of employees will be able to work remotely on average 60% of their working week.  All employees are welcome to use their contractual office for their whole working week if that is their preference.
