    Activities& Events Manager

    Cambridge

    Full Time

    Are you ready to advance your career in a vibrant and culturally diverse setting? Join EF Education First for a unique opportunity to work with students from around the world, taking charge of a language campus' activities and events program. This role not only promises a memorable experience for our students but also offers you the chance to hone your management skills. Elevate your career while creating unforgettable moments

    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. We look for thinkers and doers – creative, collaborative, and motivated people who are excited by education, communication, and travel.

    When you join EF, you join a multicultural and diverse community working across more than 600 schools and offices in 50 countries. In the UK and Ireland, our core presence is felt at our international language campuses and summer schools, where we welcome students from around the world to participate in language learning and cultural exchange. Whoever you are, whatever you are passionate about—we welcome you and encourage you to open the world through education.

    Your Role

    You will be spearheading EF Cambridge International Language Campus' activities and events program, by managing a team of activity leaders and coordinators. You will be responsible for scheduling, budgeting, quality control and student satisfaction. As part of our blended learning process, the activities and events that you will plan will not only provide our students with an unforgettable experience, but will also ensure that they are able to practice the language skills they have picked up in the classroom. From day trips across the UK, to murder mystery events, to parties and Holi-Fests, help give our students an experience they will never forget, all while developing your professional skills within an international organisation.

    Responsibilities

  • Working with the management team to deliver an exceptional experience to our students, you will have the overall responsibility for the activity and events programme in your campus
  • You will be directly involved in shaping our student's experiences. Planning and delivering everything from interactive games for small groups or to large wow events of over 1000 students
  • You will be supporting a team of local and international leaders in ensuring all activities give the students a sense of the local culture, whilst being safe and unforgettably fun at the same time
  • On a daily basis, you will be part of a diverse team and community; liaising with our local suppliers as well as motivating and shaping your team of leaders to create the summer of a lifetime for every student. No two days will be the same; you will go from completing schedules and administrative tasks to jumping on stage at the disco to fire up the crowd
