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

• 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.
• Support the administration of the Alumni Advisory Council and help deliver stewardship and recognition activity, such as thank‑you communications and impact updates.
• Provide operational support for alumni engagement events and activities, including occasional evening events, and assist with alumni communications and other team projects as required.
• Maintain accurate records of alumni volunteering and engagement in systems such as Blackbaud CRM, supporting data entry, updates and basic reporting, and contribute to monitoring participation, satisfaction and programme outcomes.
• Handle alumni and internal enquiries, process purchases and invoices, and provide high‑quality customer service to alumni, students, colleagues and other stakeholders.

What we are looking for

• Strong administrative and organisational skills, with the ability to manage a varied workload, prioritise tasks and meet deadlines.
• Experience of working with a range of internal and external stakeholders and providing good customer service.
• 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

• The opportunity to continue your career at a world‑leading institution and be part of our mission to use science for humanity.
• Benefit from a sector‑leading salary and remuneration package (including 41 days’ annual leave and generous pension schemes).
• Access to a range of workplace benefits including a flexible working policy from day one, generous family leave packages, on‑site leisure facilities and cycle‑to‑work scheme.
• Interest‑free season ticket loan schemes for travel.
• Be part of a diverse, inclusive and collaborative work culture with various staff networks and resources to support your personal and professional wellbeing.
