Job description

The role

To promote a flexible workforce, the University will consider applications from individuals seeking full time, part time, job share, or term time only working arrangements.

The Conference Office is looking for a team member to join our customer facing team.

You will be the main contact for our customers for conferences, events, catering and visitor accommodation. You will be responsible for overseeing the sales and organisation of large events, liaising directly with external customers and organisations. You will need to co-ordinate with internal operational teams to ensure that events run successfully with an exceptional attention to detail.
