There’s a lot behind the moment someone says, “That was a brilliant evening.”
The planning. The phone calls. The last-minute change nobody else noticed. The thought that went into making people feel special.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys making all of that happen.
At Kara Healthcare, you’ll organise our company events, meetings and celebrations, coordinate gifts and help us build relationships with event organisers, sponsors and suppliers.
This is a hands-on role for someone who takes ownership, follows things through and cares about the details.
What you’ll be doing
- Company events and celebrations: Plan and deliver Christmas parties, annual awards and other company occasions, from initial ideas through to delivery on the day.
- Training events: Coordinate dates, venues, invitations, equipment, refreshments and arrangements with trainers and attendees.
- Board meetings: Organise schedules, meeting spaces, invitations, materials and practical arrangements.
- External events and brand presence: Identify relevant events Kara could sponsor, liaise with organisers and ensure agreed branding and visibility are delivered.
- Sponsor relationships: Approach and coordinate sponsors for our events, maintaining relationships and ensuring commitments are followed through.
- Suppliers and venues: Source options, compare quotations, negotiate costs and coordinate catering, entertainment, photography, printing and other requirements.
- Gifts and recognition: Organise Christmas gifts and gifts for colleague milestones, including sourcing, ordering, presentation and delivery.
- Planning and budgets: Maintain an events calendar, track spending and deadlines, and keep everyone involved informed.
Who we’re looking for
Someone organised, personable and dependable, who can manage several priorities and stay calm when plans change.
You’ll bring:
Experience organising events or coordinating activities in an administration, hospitality, office support or similar role.
Excellent attention to detail and the confidence to chase outstanding tasks.
Strong communication skills and a friendly, professional approach.
Confidence working with suppliers, quotations and budgets.
Initiative, practical ideas and a willingness to get involved.
You don’t need to have held this exact job title before. We’re interested in what you’ve organised, how you approached it and how you made it work.
You’ll have room to bring your own ideas and see them become occasions our colleagues look forward to and remember.
We’d love to hear about an event or project you’re proud of organising.
