Working within the Alumni Engagement team, you will play a key part in coordinating volunteering activity, maintaining accurate records and helping to deliver a positive experience for alumni and students.

What you would be doing

In this role, you will coordinate a range of alumni volunteering opportunities, including communications with volunteers, recruitment of recent graduates for induction panels, matching volunteers to opportunities and following up on activity.

• Confidence using data and databases to update records, track activity and support reporting (experience with CRM systems such as Blackbaud is desirable but not essential).
• Good written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to detail.
• The ability to work collaboratively as part of a team, respond flexibly to changing priorities and build positive working relationships with colleagues, volunteers and alumni.
• A willingness to support occasional evening events.

What we can offer you
