Projects and Activities Assistant (SESSP1224)

Are you passionate about supporting students to get the most out of their time at University? Can you work collaboratively with colleagues and use your excellent communication and organisational skills to help us provide an exceptional experience for students from all over the world? 

In this role you will be part of the Student Education Service working with colleagues across the University and Leeds University Union on projects and activities to support international students to make a successful transition to life at Leeds and to help all students benefit from being part of a global campus community.

You will be working in a team that specialises in international student support and intercultural activity, supporting students’ welcome and transition; wellbeing and success; community building; and global and local experiences in Leeds. 

Working with our Event Manager and Project Manager, you will assist the team to deliver a range of intercultural co-curricular and student support activities and contribute to the cross-institutional delivery of students’ welcome experience. You will also assist with work on pilot projects, providing support to the team through various stages of a project lifecycle, and you will develop the ability to take a lead on some specific activities.

We are looking for someone with experience of administrative work or organising events/activities who can relate to the experience of our diverse student community and can bring us imagination and enthusiasm as well as strong organisation, team-working and communication skills. You will be joining a team that takes pride in creating a welcoming and supportive working environment.
