Training and Events Coordinator (Temporary) in City of London

Excellent opportunity to join a highly respected professional membership organisation at the heart of the legal sector. Supporting a busy and well-established training and events function, you’ll play a key role in delivering a diverse and high-quality training and events programme to the profession, while developing your own skills in event admin and coordination and stakeholder management.

Working as part of a collaborative team of four, you’ll support the delivery of a busy portfolio of activity, including around 150 training courses each year alongside events spanning seminars, lectures, Annual Conference and Graduate exhibition. The team works across a mix of online, hybrid and in-person formats, and you’ll gain exposure to the full programme.

The role is primarily focused on the end-to-end coordination of the profession’s training courses (around 60% of your time and these are mainly virtual/Zoom, although some face-to-face), where you’ll take ownership of your own schedule of 2–4 courses per week. This includes full end-to-end coordination and delivery - managing delegate bookings and communications, liaising with trainers and delegates, coordinating logistics, setting up and running online sessions, and ensuring all activity runs smoothly.

You’ll also support the delivery of events (around 30% of your role), initially assisting on elements of larger projects before progressing to manage your own smaller events such as seminars and lectures independently. This is a mainly desk-based role, with 2 days in the office (though 3 during your probation).

You’ll be part of a well-oiled collaborative team, who work supportively, to deliver a busy training and events programme that is hugely respected by the profession.
