Job Description

About Us

The King's community is dedicated to the service of society.

King's Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas:

educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world.

Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.


We are the Student Administrative Services Department, who undertake the administration of the student lifecycle including Welcome, Enrolment & Registration, Visa Support & Guidance, Student Records, Graduation, and International Orientation.

We work to ensure all students who study at King's receive a world-class student experience by aligning support for students through their educational journey at King's with the academic cycle of events throughout the year.

About the Role


The Student Lifecycle Events & Engagement Officer (Welcome & Graduation) will assist in the preparation, organisation and administration of these important university events, and aim to provide a high-quality experience for all our staff and students.

Working collaboratively with services and faculties across the institution, the post holder will provide quality customer service for stakeholders, responding to enquiries competently and appropriately, and continually seeking opportunities to enhance the student experience.

We regularly see over 10,000 students attend graduation ceremonies each year, and over 15,000 students attend our Welcome events.


Experience of working in events is desirable, though not essential, and a keen eye for detail with an understanding of the logístical requirements of event management beneficial.


This is an exciting opportunity for an individual looking to gain large-scale events experience, support student engagement, and who wishes to utilise their skills and expertise in organisation and stakeholder management.

This post will be offered on a full-time permanent contract.
