Employer Events Support Officer

University of Exeter - Education and Academic Services

This part-time post (23 hours per week) is available immediately on a permanent basis. The working pattern will be three days per week (7 hours, 40 minutes per day), Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, with occasional demand to flex these days (to be agreed in advance), in line with the demands of the work. The role will include occasional early mornings and evening work (again, to be agreed in advance), during busy periods. This role offers the opportunity for hybrid working – some time on campus and some from home.

The Employer Events Team are responsible for delivering a varied programme of employability and careers-focused activities throughout the academic year, including: careers fairs; recruitment presentations; panel talks; mock interviews; Instagram lives and promotional events. The post holder will plan, organise and deliver these employer and alumni-focused events, both virtually and on-campus, as well as undertake and support student, employer and alumni communications and marketing, plus all other tasks associated with event management.

We are seeking a proactive, highly motivated and extremely organised individual, with a 'can-do' attitude. Your administrative experience will ensure you have the ability to prioritise, meet deadlines under pressure and manage multiple tasks - switching between them as required with ease, whilst maintaining accuracy. You will be committed to providing exceptional customer service at all times. You will have excellent communication skills, liaising with a wide variety of stakeholders such as employers, alumni, students and staff, to facilitate the successful delivery of events and will develop strong working relationships with employers to support their recruitment needs. The ideal candidate will have previous experience of working in event management in a Higher Education setting. Familiarity delivering virtual events would be advantageous but full training will be given. The post holder will undertake supervision of student staff so previous line management experience would be desirable.

We offer some fantastic benefits including: 39 days leave per year (pro-rata), options for flexible working, numerous discounts at leading retailers, onsite gyms on all of our campuses and a cycle to work scheme, sector leading policies around maternity, adoption and shared parental leave (up to 26 weeks full pay), paternity leave (up to six weeks full pay) and a Fertility Treatment Policy, stunning campus environments in Exeter and Cornwall, in the beautiful South West of England.
