We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you.

About the role

Imperial College Union is seeking a Building Co-ordinator to play a central role in the day-to-day operation of the Beit Building, one of the Union’s most active and diverse spaces. This is a hands‑on operational role that sits at the heart of student life, ensuring that the building is safe, welcoming and ready to support a wide range of student, staff and commercial activity.

Working closely with the Head of Commercial Services, Duty Managers and a wide network of internal and external stakeholders, the Building Co-ordinator will ensure that building activity runs smoothly from first enquiry through to delivery. This role also leads the Welcome Desk function, providing a consistently high standard of service and information to all building users.

The post is offered on a full-time, permanent basis, working a 35-hour week across any five days out of seven, including some evenings and weekends in line with operational needs.

What you would be doing

You will coordinate the day-to-day operation of the Beit Building, ensuring all spaces are safe, well presented and available to support student, staff and commercial activity. As the first point of contact through the Welcome Desk, you will provide clear information and high‑quality customer service, while maintaining oversight of access systems, key control and building security. You will carry out regular building checks and ensure that any issues are promptly reported and followed up.

You will manage and coordinate bookings across the building, using the digital room booking system to ensure effective use of space. This will involve liaising with internal and external clients to confirm booking details, coordinating room set‑ups and pack‑downs, and supporting Duty Managers with smooth event handovers when required.

You will lead and support the student Welcome Desk team, including recruitment, training and day‑to‑day coordination, helping to create a welcoming and inclusive environment. You will also work closely with the Health, Safety and Facilities Manager and College Estates to support compliance, report maintenance issues and contribute to improvements in building operations and user guidance.

You will bring a strong understanding of building operations, space management and health and safety expectations within a large, multi-use environment. Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach are essential, as the role works across a wide range of teams and stakeholders.

You will be comfortable using digital booking and reporting systems, have a strong commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, and be motivated by supporting a positive experience for students and visitors. Experience of working in a Students’ Union or higher education environment, or familiarity with room booking systems, would be an advantage.

Please see Person Specification in Job Description for full outline of duties.

What we can offer you

Please note this role is with the Students’ Union. We’re a registered charity in our right, with our own governance, systems, processes, and objectives.

As an employee of Imperial College, you will be part of lively community and work in a friendly and relaxed environment. Our aim is to provide to all our employees an encouraging and relaxed working environment with an emphasis on personal development and work-life balance. Based on that we offer:

• flexible working hours

Who are we?
 

 
 

Part business, part charity, part membership body – students’ unions are all seriously fun places to work. They are organisations in their own right. Professionally run, but different. Professional teams support elected student leaders to make change, improve lives and fulfil potential; we help make it happen. Founded in 1897, LSE Students' Union is one of the oldest Students' Unions in the UK and is the representative and campaigning body for students at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Like other Students' Unions, it also funds and facilitates student activities on campus, including 250+ societies, 40+ sports clubs through the Athletics Union (AU), the Media Groups, and the Raising and Giving (RAG) charitable fundraising initiatives.

The post-holder for this role will support the Student Leaders within these Societies in delivering their activities throughout the year, and provide impactful development opportunities for them in doing so.

Who are we looking for?
 

 
 

We’re looking for a professional individual who has a passion for student experience, activities and events – all within a fast-paced environment. It is important that you have good written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to provide excellent customer service, to ensure that our students/groups receive the best possible experience from our support. You must have a keen eye for detail and an organised approach to your work, as you’ll be handling sensitive data/information, and have various competing priorities at any one time. Applicants should also be positive, committed and approachable, with the ability to develop and maintain stakeholder relationships and a desire to work in an organisation that services a culturally diverse membership.
 

 
 

Why apply?
 

 
 

Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring and creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces. Plus…

-        25 days of holiday per year

Welcome to Ada

At Ada, the National College for Digital Skills, our mission is to empower the next generation of diverse digital talent. By combining high-quality education with deep industry partnerships, we are expanding the talent pipeline, diversifying the tech sector, and transforming lives.

As a specialist Further Education college, all our 16–19 students study Computing, while our Higher Level and Degree Apprentices work in high-demand disciplines within innovative, blue-chip companies.

Bridging the Skills Gap

The UK’s digital skills gap costs the economy an estimated £63 billion annually in lost GDP. Ada addresses this by equipping young people with the specific skills the industry requires. Since being announced by the Prime Minister in 2014 as England’s first new FE College since 1993, we have consistently excelled, earning "Good with Outstanding features" in our first two Ofsted inspections.

Our Reach and Impact

We operate from state-of-the-art campuses in Victoria, London, and Ancoats, Manchester, fostering a supportive, values-driven environment for students and staff alike. Our current learner demographics reflect our commitment to inclusion: 33% Female 62% Ethnic minority backgrounds 27% Low-income households 48% From low-income areas. Our London Sixth Form currently enrolls 216 students, delivering nation-leading results: The qualification achievement rate (QAR) is 84% with those from disadvantaged backgrounds (measured as eligible for  FSM) at 88%. The BTEC pass rate achieved is 100%, with 65% of learners attaining the highest grades (Distinction* or Distinction). The  programs successfully lead to 91% positive destinations for learners.

Expanding our curriculum

In response to our successful roll out of T Levels from September 2024 we are expecting to expand the offer of the program in Digital Software Development with up to 75 learners across both our campuses with London hosting up to 50 learners. This includes a 315-hour industry placement and a comprehensive skills program designed to launch successful careers in tech.  We are also looking ahead to launching new V Levels in 2027 in response to the DfE launch of distinct programmes of study.

• Provide academic and pastoral support for students in their lessons, as well as support outside lessons (e.g. after college or during part of lunch) to ensure that every student makes continuous and effective progress.

• Provide written feedback on students’ progress to the college, to parents/carers and to students themselves where appropriate and as directed by Senior Leaders.

• Be a Team Lead (Form Tutor) and support, through mentoring and intervention, the personal development and academic progress of the students in your Team in line with Ada’s Social Mission and commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Shakespeare's Globe is seeking a Learning Coordinator to join the Learning team which focuses on delivering a range of projects for young people, schools and teachers. This team is responsible for coordinating the delivery of the ground breaking annual Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank project; daily Lively Action workshops which bring Shakespeare to life for students from across the globe; high quality CPD for teachers, and a vast range of other projects, both revenue-generating and funded.

We are committed to building an inclusive recruitment process that attracts and supports talented people from a wide range of backgrounds, particularly those who are currently underrepresented in our team, including those from a global majority background. Our aim is to ensure that the people we work with can see themselves and their potential reflected in who we are.

We are looking for someone who is open to learning and is passionate about having an impact on young people’s learning and lives. If you feel that you do not meet all of the criteria, but could contribute to the team and the experience of the young people we engage with, we want to hear from you!
