St Catharine’s has a well-deserved reputation for its friendliness and benefits from an engaged and supportive alumni community. It is a high performing College, both academically and in other areas of student life.

You should be well organised, have strong attention to detail, be able to prioritise, and demonstrate a positive approach to problem solving and customer service.
The Alumni Events Officer is responsible for running the ADO events programme, organising and managing the arrangements for a wide range of in person and digital events including stewardship events, year group reunions, club and society events, and regional and overseas events.
