Full job description

Job Description

Event Manager (Temporary contract)

LaingBuisson is the UK’s leading provider of market intelligence, consultancy and data solutions to the healthcare and social care sectors. Serving clients for over 30 years we are the chosen provider of independent sector healthcare market data to the UK Government’s Office for National Statistics. LaingBuisson events vary and can range from drinks receptions to large award ceremonies and in total we manage around 25-30 events a year for the sector. LaingBuisson has offices located in London..

Event Manager

We are looking for a highly organised, hands-on Senior Event Manager to join our events team on a temporary 4 to 6-month contract to provide maternity cover from [date], with the possibility of extension. As LaingBuisson’s events portfolio continues to expand, we need somebody who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes ownership, and is as comfortable delivering the detail as they are shaping the bigger picture.

Based in London with hybrid working, this is a role for a true operator — somebody who rolls up their sleeves, gets stuck into the day-to-day execution, and keeps multiple moving parts running smoothly under pressure. You will be responsible for planning, organising, and delivering a wide range of high-quality events that showcase our brand and create exceptional experiences for our audiences.

The successful candidate will combine strong project management skills with outstanding attention to detail, commercial awareness, and a proactive mindset. You will be practical, solutions-focused, highly efficient, and confident managing timelines, suppliers, stakeholders, logistics, and on-site delivery to a consistently high standard.

We are looking for someone who:

Is exceptionally organised and operationally strong
Takes initiative and ownership rather than waiting for direction
Enjoys the “doing” as much as the planning
Can juggle multiple priorities and stay calm under pressure
Has a genuine passion for creating engaging, valuable event experiences
Works collaboratively and brings positive energy to a growing team
Has hands-on experience in delivering a large Awards event

This is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact within a dynamic and ambitious events programme.

The annual programme of events include conferences, awards, report launches, webinars and private dinners. The events vary in size ranging from 15 to 1,000 and we hold 15-20 per year. As Event Manager, you will initially report into our Head of Events, then cover for her during her maternity leave, leading our Event Coordinators. Our working days are Monday to Friday and the role is offered with the flexibility to split your working time between the office in London and home. Applicants should note that owing to the demands of putting on live events, there are times, such as the day before and the day of a conference, when you will be required on site for long hours.

LaingBuisson’s annual Healthcare Awards, a premier event which attracts 1,000 senior individuals from across the independent health and social care sectors takes place in November 2026, when the Head of Events will be on maternity leave. With her guidance during KIT days, you will be responsible for coordination and delivery of the event, working with the Event Co-ordinators.

Work with the Conference Producer to ensure that the agenda is finalised and speaker acquisition is complete.

Collaborate with the marketing team to develop event-specific campaigns and content.

Coordinate with internal departments to ensure their involvement in events and maintain a unified company presence.

Liaise with speakers, presenters, and special guests to ensure their participation and satisfaction.

Conduct post-event evaluations to measure success and gather feedback for future improvements.

Prepare comprehensive reports on event outcomes, including attendance, feedback, and return on investment (ROI).

Analyse data and provide actionable insights to enhance future event strategies.

· 5+ years’ experience of corporate event management

· Sound knowledge of the events sector, suppliers, services and venues

· Experience managing event budgets and understanding the commercial drivers of conferences, sponsorship, exhibitions and delegate revenue.

· Excellent administrative skills – you will be competent and experienced in diary management, correspondence, electronic filing and presentation.

· Project management – you will have experience leading complex events from planning through to delivery, coordinating multiple stakeholders, suppliers and internal teams.

· First-class communication skills – you will be able to communicate effectively with people at all levels, build positive relationships with colleagues, suppliers and speakers, and manage competing stakeholder priorities in a professional and responsive ma

· Multi-tasker and self-starter – you will be able to manage and prioritise your own workload with the minimum of supervision.

· Must be able to travel for events which may require overnight stay

Experience

You must have had hands-on experience of a large awards event.

Our benefits package includes:

· Pension

· 23 days holiday (plus public holidays)
