Student Activities Events Coordinator
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 so as they make change, improve lives and fulfil potential, we help make it happen. The Union of Brunel Students has a small but impactful staff team dedicated to serving the needs and interests of our members. Our size allows us to work closely together and make decisions quickly, while our passion for creating positive change means that every member of our team has an impact on helping us deliver our Vision to ensure that every student thrives at Brunel. We are one of more than 600 students’ unions across the country. And with more than 15,000 members, 150 clubs and societies, a huge range of services and a bold strategy, we’re one of the most exciting.
What’s the job? The Events Coordinator will lead on the operational delivery of Student Activities events, including Freshers engagement activities, One Brunel and large society-led events, weekend and coach trips, and end‑of‑year celebration events such as Team Brunel Ball and Societies Ball. The role is responsible for coordinating a dynamic, inclusive and accessible events programme that enables students to meet new people, feel welcome at Brunel, and develop a strong sense of community and belonging. Working closely with Union colleagues, student clubs and societies, and external suppliers, the post holder will ensure all events are effectively planned and delivered, with a strong focus on student experience, accessibility, health and safety, and operational excellence.
Why apply? Because you're inspired by the opportunity to make a real difference in students’ lives.
