Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time

**Engagement Officer (Events and Programmes)**:
**Salary: Grade 6 (£29,762 - £35,308 p.a.)**

This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

**Are you passionate about developing a global alumni community which is proud of its connection with the University of Leeds? Do have a vision for what makes an engaged and inclusive community, ideas for events and programmes that will encourage alumni to get involved, and the ability to turn those ideas into practice? Are you interested in ensuring that the transition of students to alumni is meaningful and that new graduates value the opportunity to stay connected with Leeds and are inspired to be volunteers and supporters of the University?**

The University of Leeds is one of the top 135 universities in the world. We have a truly global community, with more than 39,000 students from 170 different countries and over 9,000 staff of 100 different nationalities. Established in 1904, we have a strong tradition of academic excellence, reflected in first-class student education, along with world-leading research that has a real impact around the globe.

As Engagement Officer you will take the lead on the development and provision of alumni community engagement through a range of events and programmes. You will be experienced in designing, planning and organising both in-person and online events but experience in the creative use of online platforms, to engage a global audience, will be particularly important.

A particular focus of your work will be to put into place, run and review a programme of activity to support the meaningful transition of students to alumni, and to engage them in their first few years after graduating. This will include the project management of graduate-facing activity and celebration around graduation as well as events and programmes which maximise the connection with recently graduated alumni, both in the UK and internationally.

You will be a people person who works best as part of a team, and above all you will have a commitment to going the extra mile for ‘customer’ service, whether to our students, alumni, staff across the Advancement Team, or the wider University.

The Advancement Team at the University of Leeds engages with one of the largest alumni communities in UK higher education, with more than 300,000 graduates in nearly 200 countries around the world. We help alumni stay connected and involved with the University to become donors, volunteers, advocates and ambassadors, creating opportunities for students and graduates, supporting research programmes and furthering the University’s global reputation. The Team has grown significantly over the past year to enable us to play our part in delivering the University’s ambitious strategy through enhanced engagement with our global alumni and supporter community.

As the Engagement Officer (Events and Programmes) you will join the Alumni and Supporter Engagement Team, which is part of the wider Advancement Team. The ASE Team supports the delivery of our communications, events and programmes, volunteering and global network programmes, to build and strengthen relationships with our alumni and supporters, and to involve them in the life of the University and its community.

**What we offer in return**
- 26 days holiday plus 16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) - that’s 42 days a year
- Generous pension scheme options plus life assurance
- Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
- Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team, and self-development courses including languages, Creative Writing, Wellbeing Therapies and much more.
