Events Assistant
Full-time role for 3-4 months
Cambridge
Occasional evenings/weekends
£14.00 per hour
If you’re the kind of person who naturally keeps things organised, spots problems before they happen, and takes pride in delivering high-quality events, this is a great opportunity for you!
You’ll join a high-performing events team delivering a programme of professional, large-scale and high-profile events for a globally recognised institution.
These aren’t “nice to have” events. They really matter, and they need to run properly.
The Role
This is a hands-on, detail-driven role where you’ll take ownership of key parts of event delivery, from planning through to execution.
You’ll be:
* Coordinating venues, catering, logistics and accommodation
* Managing delegate registrations and communications end-to-end
* Acting as the first point of contact for event queries
* Supporting the delivery of multiple events running in parallel
* Working closely with internal teams and external suppliers
* On-site at events, ensuring everything runs smoothly
This is a role for someone who enjoys making things happen, not just planning them.
What You’ll Bring
You don’t need to tick every box, but you do need the right mindset.
We’re looking for someone who:
* Has experience in a corporate events role or run weddings / events in hospitality at supervisor / manager level
* Is highly organised and comfortable managing multiple moving parts
* Communicates confidently with a wide range of stakeholders
* Stays calm when plans change (because they will)
* Has strong attention to detail and takes pride in getting things right
* Is comfortable using systems, databases and Excel
* Is self-sufficient and able to get to events (with their own car + UK driver's license)
Why This Role?
* Exposure to high-profile, large-scale events
* Genuine ownership — not just admin support
* Structured environment with clear processes and standards
* Opportunity to build a long-term career in events
* Some evening and weekend work will be required
* It’s detail-heavy and process-driven
* You’ll be juggling multiple events at once
If you like variety, ownership and being relied on — you’ll enjoy it.
