The British Science Association is seeking a highly organized and communicative individual to join their team as an Event Management Assistant for the British Science Festival 2024. As a key member of the operations team, you will be responsible for ensuring the smooth execution of events in designated venues across the festival site.

If you have excellent communication skills, a proactive approach, and a passion for science engagement, we encourage you to apply.

Festival Overview: The British Science Festival is Europe's longest-standing science festival, traveling to a new location each year. Our events bring together scientists, artists, and members of the public to explore the latest scientific discoveries and innovations.

About the Role: As an Event Management Assistant, you will work closely with the BSA Operations Team to coordinate logistics, manage event schedules, and provide support to festival assistants.
