We are looking for an enthusiastic and organised Events and Communications Assistant to help ensure the success of our corporate events calendar and also to assist the wider Communications Team.

You will support and attend a wide range of events both internally and externally for our residents, staff and stakeholders. You will be responsible for sourcing and booking venues, organising catering, managing guestlists and supporting each event through to completion.

You will have experience of providing administrative, logistical and creative support for events and be skilled in all Microsoft Office applications including Word, Excel and PowerPoint.  You must have experience of juggling multiple deadlines and competing priorities under pressure.

You will also provide wider support for the communications team, including maintaining our financial reporting systems, processing invoices and diary management.

You will liaise with all parts of the business, venues and suppliers so excellent interpersonal skills are a must.

Reporting to the Events Manager, this is a key post within our dynamic Communications Team. You’ll be self-motivated and able to work under your own initiative, but it’s also crucial that you’re a team player and supportive of the wider communications strategy.
