• Managing logistics, service, set-up and on-the-day coordination with precision

• Working closely with internal clients and catering teams to bring each event to life

• Troubleshooting on the fly and keeping everything on track

What We’re Looking For:

• A natural leader who thrives under pressure and brings out the best in others

• Bags of energy, initiative and a hands-on attitude

• Ideally, a strong background in hotel events or hospitality operations – you know what great service looks like and how to deliver it

• Experience in coordinating multiple events and managing service-led teams

• A customer-first mindset and a flair for problem-solving

What’s In It For You?

• 13% pension contribution – we’ve got your future covered

• 35 days holiday (plus bank holidays) – balance is everything

• A vibrant, supportive campus setting with loads of variety

• The chance to grow your career and really make your mark

• Be part of a fun, friendly, passionate team that gets the job done – and enjoys it!

If you’re ready to bring your hospitality expertise and high-energy attitude to an exciting, service-driven role – we’d love to meet you.
