Many have never heard of mesothelioma, even though it is a disease that can affect anyone who has been exposed to asbestos. With over 2,700 cases a year, the UK has the highest incidence of the disease in the world.
In this varied role, you will have the chance to support the success of events that raise awareness of our cause, connect people who have been affected by this type of cancer and generate funds to combat this disease.
What’s more, you will be working closely with our Events Officer, giving you plenty of opportunities to learn, develop your skills and gain a strong understanding of how a successful event is created, planned and delivered.

As an Events Assistant, you will help our Events Officer to deliver a range of meet ups, fundraisers and support activities for our organisation.
Specifically, you will:
- Collate detailed quotes from suppliers
- Assist with the logistics of events, including entertainment plans and table layouts
- Help to source event funding

Previous events experience would be beneficial, but this is not essential. Experience of using a CRM would also be an advantage.
We would like to hear from you if you’ve worked as an Administrator, Support Administrator, Customer Support Administrator, or Office Administrator.
Other organisations may call this role Charity Events Assistant, Junior Events Officer, Trainee Events Co-ordinator, or Events Administrator.
This is a full-time role, working 37.5 hours per week, flexibility between the hours of 8:00 – 17:00. We will also consider this position on a part-time basis if the successful candidate can commit to 22.5 hours per week.
