They will also support Institute colleagues in the delivery of a varied programme of internal events, such as webinars, roundtables, and working groups.

The role will require occasional ‘out of hours’ work to support evening/weekend events (for which time off in lieu is offered) and is primarily campus-based due to the nature of the events being supported.
