This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves organising to coordinate our Annual Conference, Graduate Forum Conference, webinar series, awards and grants.

Why should you join us? 

• You will play a key role in delivering UACES events and programmes that bring our community together in the UK and across Europe. 

• You will meet, support and work with a passionate and dedicated community of scholars, researchers and students. 

• We will support you to develop your skills and knowledge, with regular 1-1s, appraisals and a training plan. 

• We offer a 35-hour week, a 10% employer pension contribution after probation, private healthcare and time off in lieu for event attendance. 

• We offer flexible and hybrid working. The team also meets regularly in person, including team days and member visits around the UK.
