Job Details

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to build the experience in events to join a small and successful events team Universities UK International (UUKi), a membership-body representing over 140 UK universities.

This role will play an important role in the successful planning and delivery of UUKi’s events, supporting activity in logistics, content, sponsorship, marketing and administration. The events will include in-person international conferences with over 300 delegates and high-profile speakers, to webinars and small roundtables.

The Events Assistant role requires strong organisational abilities, together with excellent customer service and an attention to detail.
