About this role
The Events Intern plays a hands‑on role in planning and delivering a wide range of University events — from open days to graduate celebrations, and key moments in the student recruitment calendar. You’ll be right at the heart of creating memorable experiences for prospective students, their families, and our wider community.
Working within our friendly and experienced Events Team, you’ll support every stage of the event cycle: planning, logistics, set‑up, on‑the‑day delivery, and post‑event evaluation. No two days look the same, and you’ll quickly build real‑world skills in organisation, communication, teamwork, and customer service. Some evening and weekend work will be required during major University‑wide events.

-
Have an interest in events, marketing, communications or student engagement
- Enjoy working with people and delivering excellent customer service
- Bring strong organisational skills and can juggle multiple deadlines
- Are enthusiastic, adaptable, and ready to get stuck in
- Want to contribute to shaping the experience of future Chichester students
About the Team
You’ll join a warm, collaborative, and student‑focused Events Team who take pride in delivering high‑quality experiences while maintaining a healthy work–life balance. We’re a supportive group who enjoy what we do — and we’re excited to welcome someone who wants to learn, grow, and make a real impact.
In addition to your salary we offer a competitive reward package with a range of staff benefits and discounts which include:
-
A flexible defined contribution pension scheme via Aviva Master Trust (FlexHE).
