Job description

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.  Previous events and/or administrative experience would be advantageous, but more importantly you must have a willingness to learn and a proactive and flexible approach.  This is a fast-moving environment with several projects on the go at the same time.   

Knowledge of Excel, Canva and Microsoft Outlook would be desirable, alongside a willingness to learn online platforms used for registration and marketing.

Please note that the Events Assistant role will involve occasional unsociable hours in the run-up to and on the day of events.

Interviews will take place on Wednesday 27 May 2026.

To be considered for this opportunity, please submit a CV, accompanied by a covering letter no longer than two sides of A4, describing how you meet the criteria listed in the person specification of the recruitment pack.
