We are seeking a motivated and efficient Events Assistant to join our growing and welcoming organisation. This is an exciting opportunity to support the delivery of a wide range of events (online and in person) for stakeholders across Wales’ political, public and academic life. The role also includes support for communications, meetings and other areas within LSW as they develop. As such, it offers a great all-round experience for someone looking to develop their career.

This flexible, full-time role is fixed term for one year and will provide essential support to our small and friendly team – enabling us to deliver our ambitious five-year strategy to benefit Wales.  We are looking for someone who is adaptable, supportive and organised.

LSW is a bilingual organisation that supports active Welsh speakers and learners at all levels. Fluency in Welsh is not a requirement of this post, but the ability to communicate in Welsh is desirable, and a willingness to learn is essential.

About the role

Managed by the Head of Public Policy, this is a role which is designed to work across our small team, supporting the management of a wide range of events (online and in person) as well as providing some support for communications, meetings and other areas as they develop.

We organise and host a wide variety of events from large public lectures to small networking events, in-person dinners to online seminars and meetings. Some of these are established annual events and some are one-off.  At these events and meetings, we host stakeholders from across Welsh political and public spheres as well as engaging and involving our 700+ Fellows who represent excellence across academia and beyond.

This role will focus primarily on events relating to LSW’s Strategic Priority 1: “Contribute to major policy solutions by providing independent advice and facilitating knowledge exchange”.  These events typically relate to one of the following five topics:

1. Facilitating the provision of evidence and expertise to inform public policy, with stakeholders including Welsh Government, the Senedd, the UK Government Wales Office, and the Westminster Welsh Affairs Committee.

2. Convening discussions on policy matters impacting research and innovation sectors, such as EDI, research culture, funding, open research, and civic engagement.

3. Advocating for the importance of all research, innovation, and knowledge in and for Wales.

4. Supporting and advocating for Wales Studies, i.e. research about Wales.

5. International engagement to raise Wales’s profile among science and research stakeholders internationally, and give Wales a voice in key conversations in the global science and research world. (Most current work is in Scotland and Ireland, with increasing European engagement)

You will also provide support across the team – including for the CEO, President, Head of Equity and Engagement, Communications Officer, and Events and Awards Officer where they require assistance with meetings, events and communications.  You will be working with different members of the team depending on the particular event or activity so you will manage your own time – with support from your line manager.

We are a small team, and all are accountable for some of the mundane tasks necessary in a small organisation.

English PEN is the founding centre of PEN International, a worldwide writers’ association with over 130 centres in more than 90 countries. We have a strong track record in campaigning in the UK and internationally. Our work has included campaigns for individual writers at risk; advocacy on UK legislation; coordinating residencies for writers; supporting displaced and exiled writers in the UK; and convening roundtables, events, and vigils relating to our campaigns work.

To support our work in these areas, we are seeking to appoint a Campaigns Officer to join our team.

This full-time post is based in English PEN’s small but busy London office. The Campaigns Officer will report to the Head of Campaigns, who leads on our campaigning work across the organisation, and will work closely with the wider English PEN team.

English PEN celebrates the diversity of literature and envisions a world with free expression and equity of opportunity for all readers and writers. The Campaigns Officer will play an essential part in achieving this vision. 

Key Duties:

• Researching and monitoring key issues and individual cases of concern

• Providing tailored support to writers at risk nationally and internationally 

• Working with displaced writers in the UK to develop their creative practice

• Leading on the project management of PENWrites, our international letter-writing campaign

• Providing practical and pastoral support to resident writers

This is an exciting and demanding role which requires an individual who can effectively undertake and prioritise a wide range of tasks to support English PEN’s mission. 

English PEN wishes to encourage applications from candidates who are under-represented in the creative industries and charity sector.
