International Welcome Team Assistant (SESIN1001)

Salary: Grade 2 (£12.00 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 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 an International Welcome Team Assistant, you will have the opportunity to work on our welcome, social and cultural events and activities, and our airport pick up and other arrival services. 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 excellent customer service skills, be comfortable talking to people, and enthusiastic about encouraging people from different backgrounds to make connections with each other. You’ll need to be resourceful, flexible and able to work independently and under pressure 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.
