EF Education First’s mission is opening the world through education. A career with EF combines the support and opportunity of a large international organisation, with the spirit and energy of a small business.

Your Roles And Responsibilities

As Student Services Manager, EF is searching for an empathetic, energetic and organised individual to join our summer team. This is the perfect opportunity to develop your customer service skills whilst gaining experience within an international organisation. As the Student Services Manager, you will be the face of the EF school for both our students and our staff. You will be responsible for welcoming our students into the summer camp with a smile, being approachable for their needs, and creating a lively and exciting atmosphere for them to enjoy.

The student services have a link to all departments and as it is the core of the production of the EF school, no day will be the same. This means you will be involved in a number of different areas including preparing for new arrivals, relaying activity information and delivering briefings to new staff. You will also be involved in the running of activities and events, as well as dealing with student discipline and welfare issues should they arise. The role can be very rewarding as it involves working alongside all the departments as well as closely with the students. You will develop knowledge from each department and is, therefore, a great stepping-stone for future roles within the company.

Dealing with student and staff queries daily, you will enhance your customer service skills, communication skills, and your ability to problem-solve and react quickly to demanding tasks.
