Club Development CoordinatorStudent Engagement
University of Canterbury Student Association (UCSA)
Full timePermanentThe Opportunity Are you an organisational wiz? Do you have a passion for working with students and young people to help bring their ideas to life? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you!
We are on the lookout for a new Club Development Coordinator to join our team. There are over 160 clubs and societies here at UC, and we need someone who is not afraid to get right amongst what they are all about – building relationships with them to support them with event planning, governance advice, administration support, grant funding, and organising engaging learning and development opportunities for them.
If you're a big fan of hearing wild ideas, guiding passionate people through the world of paperwork, finding inspiring speakers to upskill young leaders, and occasionally being the person to tell them that it's a fair cop and just need to pay the fine, then this is a great opportunity to use your skills in a great environment with a super diverse and fun group of students.
So, if you're ready to jump into the exciting world of clubs here at UC, we want to hear from you!
