Excited about the opportunity to deliver world-class events within a world-leading
organisation? Looking for your first big role where you can earn while you learn? Then
this could be exactly the opportunity for you…
Imperial College London – the best university in the UK and Europe – engages with a
range of other organisations to make a meaningful difference in the world by bringing
game-changing science and technology to people who need it most, through
partnerships with some of the world’s biggest companies.
To support our ongoing work and key priorities we are delighted to be advertising for
an Event Assistant (Apprentice).
You will play a crucial role in supporting the planning, coordination, and delivery of a
diverse range of events at Imperial College London specifically aimed at engaging with
our industry audiences to help promote the work of our thriving research community.
Working closely with experienced event management professionals, communications
and marketing specialists within Imperial Enterprise and across the wider university,
you’ll have an unparalleled opportunity to contribute to the vibrant life of a world-leading institution with a focus on industry engagement, which is key to Imperial’s Science for Humanity strategy, and you can begin to develop a rewarding career in events management.
The role is fully aligned with the Event Assistant Apprenticeship Standard, which is a
level 3 qualification (A-Level equivalent).
You’ll be an enthusiastic and intrepid learner, eager to get to know the ins-and-outs of an operation when it comes to delivering events. You’re the sort of person who is happy to get stuck in and also to know when something needs to be escalated up to your manager or key partners to ensure that an event or project continues to progress.
Able to think quickly and act appropriately within a tough situation, we’re looking for
someone who is excited to join a small team with a lot of ‘customers’ across the Division, and you’ll need to be able to manage your time well alongside the expectations of the Apprenticeship qualification that you’ll be completing as part of your role.
With the opportunity to work at Europe’s leading university and with a range of
entrepreneurs, influential academics and researchers and with some of the world’s
biggest companies, you’ll have a chance to meet hundreds of people who are literally
changing the world in which we live.
Alongside the opportunity to enhance your personal network through this role, we can
also provide:
• Sector-leading salary and remuneration package (including up to 40 days off per
year)
• A nationally recognised Apprenticeship qualification while working at Imperial
(specific to this role)
• Cross-team learning to evolve your knowledge of the ways in which universities
operate
• Regular in-work team building and development events, including sector-leading
professional development opportunities
