We're looking for passionate events assistants to work in Cancer Research UK's Marketing, Fundraising and Engagement team. You'll be acting as an ambassador for Cancer Research UK, supporting the delivery of our events season including well-known events such as Race for Life, Pretty Muddy, Big Hike, and Shine Night Walk. There will also be opportunities to work at third-party sports events such as the London Marathon, Manchester Marathon, Royal Parks Half Marathon, and many others.
Responsibilities:
* Supporting the event manager in the delivery of large-scale and logistically complex events.
* Managing a large and diverse team of volunteers.
* Taking responsibility for key roles across events.
* Managing some operational responsibilities including setting up and dismantling equipment, ensuring health and safety guidelines are prioritized.
* Providing support and encouragement to Cancer Research UK participants at cheer points or post-event support at regional third-party sports events.
We work across 5 geographical 'divisions'. When submitting an application, you will need to apply to the division where you live (if you are away studying, have a think about where you will be May-October). You'll need to live within the divisional boundaries and you'll need to travel across that division to cover the events in your area. Most events will include an overnight stay away from home. All travel and accommodation will be booked and paid for you.
While driving and having access to a car is not a necessity for the role, it does help and, in some circumstances, you may be asked to use your car to help set up the route for some events.
Qualifications:
* A passion for events.
* Adaptability to changing situations with the ability to work on your own initiative.
* The ability to solve problems and respond to opportunities and challenges.
* Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to build rapport with a range of people.
* Confidence to represent Cancer Research UK publicly.
* Good organisation and prioritisation skills.
