Virtual events coordinator

Legal Cheek is hiring a virtual events coordinator to join our growing team.

The role can be done from anywhere in the UK. You’ll be working from 9-5:30 (37.5 hours per week), with a video meeting with the rest of the Legal Cheek team at the beginning and the end of each day, as well as regular contact with the team through Slack.

You’ll be part of a team managing, coordinating and administering our busy programme of virtual student events and law fairs.

Duties include processing event applications; corresponding with attendees; liaising with law firms, law schools and partner organisations about event logistics; and assisting at virtual events.

Qualities that we are looking for:

·      Very well-organised

·      Excellent attention to detail

·      Conscientious

·      Good time-management and ability to multi-task

·      Experience of holding positions of responsibility

·      Good communication skills (written and verbal) and friendly manner

·      Social media savvy

·      Proficiency in Excel

·      Willing to muck in as part of a team

A legal background is not essential but the role would suit a recent law graduate interested in either pursuing a career in events, or looking to gain experience of the legal industry before securing or starting a training contract. For the right candidate there will be opportunities to progress and take on more responsibility.

The starting salary for this position is £20,000 (junior events coordinator) with a homeworking allowance, moving to £22,000 (events coordinator) after the successful completion of a three-month probationary period. You will be provided with a company laptop.

Applications are open until 23:59 on Tuesday 31 May, with virtual interviews taking place on a rolling basis. Apply by submitting a CV and cover letter.
