Lead International Welcome Team Assistant (SESIN1000)

Salary: Grade 3 (£12.21 per hour)

Please note that this role is only open to current University of Leeds students who will be graduating after September 2024.

This role will be based on the university campus. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Do you want to help students feel welcome at the University? Would you like to play a lead role in delivering high quality support and activities for new students from all over the world?  

Every year the University welcomes thousands of new international students to Leeds during our three main arrival periods in summer, September and January. The International Student Office is dedicated to providing an exceptional welcome experience for new international students. Our team also contributes to welcoming and connecting all students and promoting their sense of belonging to our diverse University community. 

As a Lead International Welcome Team Assistant, you’ll be responsible for leading the team working on our international arrival support services during the main arrival periods, and our welcome, social and cultural events and activities. This is an important role for helping students to have a warm welcome and positive experience of settling in and developing their community in Leeds.  

You’ll be expected to have strong administrative and customer service skills; and be good at motivating, connecting and communicating with people from different backgrounds. You’ll need to be resourceful, flexible and work well under pressure. You’ll also need to be confident in leading a team, as well as working independently at times. We are keen to recruit a team with a wide range of experiences of student life to welcome and support our diverse community of new and continuing students.
