Graduate Internship - Events

Salary: £24,521 per annum
Full‑time, 37 hours per week, fixed‑term 12 months.

Open to recent University of Chichester graduates only.

The Events Intern plays a hands‑on role in planning and delivering a wide range of University events—from open days to graduate celebrations and key moments in the student recruitment calendar. You’ll be at the heart of creating memorable experiences for prospective students, their families, and the wider community.

Working within our friendly and experienced Events Team, you’ll support every stage of the event cycle: planning, logistics, set‑up, on‑the‑day delivery, and post‑event evaluation. No two days look the same, and you’ll quickly build real‑world skills in organisation, communication, teamwork, and customer service. Some evening and weekend work will be required during major University‑wide events.

We’re looking for a proactive University of Chichester graduate who’s excited to dive into the world of events. This 12‑month internship is designed to help you grow your confidence, build your CV, and gain experience that will support your future career.

• Have an interest in events, marketing, communications or student engagement
• Enjoy working with people and delivering excellent customer service
• Bring strong organisational skills and can juggle multiple deadlines
• Are enthusiastic, adaptable, and ready to get stuck in
• Want to contribute to shaping the experience of future Chichester students

We’ll welcome you into a warm, collaborative, student‑focused Events Team that delivers high‑quality experiences while maintaining a healthy work–life balance. We are excited to have someone who wants to learn, grow, and make a real impact.
