Who are we?
Part business, part charity, part membership body – students’ unions are all seriously fun places to work. They are organisations in their own right. Professionally run, but different. Professional teams support elected student leaders to make change, improve lives and fulfil potential; we help make it happen. Founded in 1897, LSE Students' Union is one of the oldest Students' Unions in the UK and is the representative and campaigning body for students at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Like other Students' Unions, it also funds and facilitates student activities on campus, including 250+ societies, 40+ sports clubs through the Athletics Union (AU), the Media Group and Raising and Giving (RAG) charitable fundraising initiatives.
What’s the job?
The purpose of this job is to support the wider organisation in providing a high-quality service to all visitors at the Students’ Union, and offer administrative support to the different teams that work within the LSESU overall. From Clubs and Societies, to Advice and Student Voice, the SU provides a range of services for students, so the persons in this role will play a key part if triaging any questions and queries from students, staff, and external stakeholders on these things. They will also provide exceptional customer service to all visitors, remaining professional at all times.
Who are we looking for?
We’re looking for a professional individual who has a passion for student experience and satisfaction. It is important that you have good digital and verbal communication skills, and the ability to provide excellent customer service, to ensure that all students/visitors receive the best possible experience from our support. You must have a keen eye for detail and an organised approach to your work, as you’ll be handling sensitive data/information, and have competing priorities at any one time. This role is also perfect for anyone who’d like to develop their knowledge of Students’ Union services whilst studying at LSE!
Why apply?
Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring and creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces. Plus…
