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 students to Leeds during our three main arrival periods in summer, September and January.

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 you may lead the team in delivering other activities for all students. This is an important role to help students receive 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.
