The programme spans a wide variety of events - ranging from intimate lunches, dinners, and receptions to lectures, alumni reunions, and tailored donor visits. Events are hosted at the College, in London, across the UK, and internationally. The Events and Engagement Officer will be responsible for the planning, coordination and hands‑on delivery of specific events within the annual calendar and will also provide both operational and administrative support to the Events and Engagement Manager for other events where needed.
