Alumni & Events Assistant

Hours: part-time, up to 17.5 hours per week (0.50 FTE)

Contract Type: Permanent, subject to six months’ probation 

Selwyn College wishes to appoint an Alumni and Events Assistant to join the College's busy, friendly Development team. Supervised by an experienced Alumni and Events Officer, you will be an important part of a small but dynamic team responsible for keeping in touch with over 7,000 alumni and friends of Selwyn College, scattered all over the world. In dealing with a wide range of enquiries from alumni, you will be friendly and confident with excellent communication skills. 

A strong team player, you will assist with the organisation of regular events in Cambridge, London and elsewhere and online. You will also be responsible for recording and updating event information and attendees’ details accurately on the database – Raiser’s Edge.
