This is an exciting opportunity to join our creative Student's Union Activities team in supporting student-led groups.

The SU Activities team supports more than 200 student-led groups - from societies and volunteer projects to sports clubs and community initiatives - all of which involve a team of Coordinators to oversee and advise on student-led activities, as well as providing administrative support with processes and data.

About the role

As an Activities Coordinator, you’ll be a go-to source of guidance and support for the many student societies, volunteer groups and the general community area with event planning and projects. This involves checking online event planners so as to ensure these are delivered in a safe and compliant manner and will include advising on risk assessments, budgets and venues.

The role will require you to support the Managers with annual planning actions, as well as administrative tasks linked to updating processes. You’ll also play an important part in monitoring student-staff workloads, and helping with key administrative tasks so that they are completed on time.

Additionally, you will identify and support with training needs, assist with marketing, and offer general guidance on trips and tours.

About you

We are looking for someone who is confident in networking with a range of partners, mentoring young people in leading projects and teams, as well as an understanding of event management and risk assessments, and having confidence with online administrative tools and working with data. You will also be required to market and promote the area to the wider community, so experience in using online tools, including social media, would be an asset.
