Permanent, full or part time
Milton Abbey School seeks to appoint an organised and flexible individual for our Events Officer role to work as part of the Development Team, which includes Marketing & Events, to help with the planning and delivery of events during holidays and in term time, for both the school and our commercial clients.
The successful candidate will need to demonstrate excellent planning and organisational skills, with the ability to multitask and use their initiative. They will help the school to deliver an exciting and diverse range of events, from whole-school celebrations such as our Summer Ball and Carol Service, to residential lets and weddings for our customers in the holidays.
We are looking for someone who has excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and with an enthusiasm for the events industry. The successful applicant will work with colleagues across the school and externally, so must enjoy working with a variety of people. Although prior experience in events is desirable, it is not essential, and we will be happy to consider someone who is keen to learn and be trained in house.
This is a permanent position, either full or part time, to be discussed during the interview process for the right candidate. You will be part of a friendly and supportive team, and training will be available to enhance skills. Full time staff also benefit from 25 days annual holiday plus bank holidays not in term time (part time, pro rata), free parking and free refreshments and a three-course hot lunch during term time and the use of the school’s facilities.
Further details may be obtained from our website or from HR on 01258 880484 or email HR@miltonabbey.co.uk. Applications must be submitted on the school’s application form.
The closing date for applications is Thursday 4th September 2024, although applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and interviews of suitable candidates may take place before the closing date. Early applications are advised. Please note that we are not accepting applications for this position through any employment agency and all applications should be made direct to the school.
