Student Activities Coordinator (Part-Time)About Yorkshire College
Yorkshire College is a British Council accredited English language college located in the heart of Leeds.
We welcome students from over 50 nationalities who travel to the UK to improve their English, experience British culture and prepare for their academic, professional and personal goals.
At Yorkshire College, we believe that learning happens both inside and outside the classroom. Alongside our English language programmes, we organise a wide range of social activities, cultural events, local excursions and trips across the UK to help students build confidence, make international friendships and create unforgettable memories.
We're looking for someone who shares our passion for creating an outstanding student experience.
About the Role
This is much more than organising activities.
You will be one of the first people our students meet when they arrive in Leeds, and you will play an important role in making them feel welcomed, supported and excited throughout their journey.
You'll organise activities, create new ideas, encourage students to socialise, introduce them to British culture and help create an international community where everyone feels at home.

- Comfortable leading groups and speaking in front of others.
- Fluent in English.
- Passionate about creating exceptional experiences for international students.
Experience in events, hospitality, education or customer service is an advantage, but personality, enthusiasm and creativity are even more important.
