This role is ideal for someone with:
- Good administrative skills and excellent organisational skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with students, colleagues, and external partners
- A background in sport or student activities
- A proactive, empathetic, and flexible approach to problem-solving
- A commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion
You will have the opportunity to develop your skills and abilities within a unique and dynamic environment, getting involved in a whole range of events and activities, whilst making a genuine difference to students at a formative time in their lives.
