Training and Events Coordinator - Prestigious Professional Body (Legal)

Excellent opportunity to join a highly respected professional membership organisation at the heart of the legal sector. Supporting a busy and well-established training and events function, you’ll play a key role in delivering a diverse and high-quality training and events programme to the profession, while developing your own skills in event admin and coordination and stakeholder management.

Working as part of a collaborative team of four, you’ll support the delivery of a busy portfolio of activity, including around 150 training courses each year alongside events spanning seminars, lectures, Annual Conference and Graduate exhibition. The team works across a mix of online, hybrid and in-person formats, and you’ll gain exposure to the full programme.

The role is primarily focused on the end-to-end coordination of the profession’s training courses (around 60% of your time and these are mainly virtual/Zoom, although some f2f), where you’ll take ownership of your own schedule of 2–4 courses per week. This includes full end to end co-ordination and delivery - managing delegate bookings and communications, liaising with trainers and delegates, coordinating logistics, setting up and running online sessions, and ensuring all activity runs smoothly. You’ll also support the delivery of events (around 30% of your role), initially assisting on elements of larger projects before progressing to manage your own smaller events such as seminars, lectures independently. Alongside this, you’ll work closely with internal teams, external suppliers (eg venues) and attend meetings with senior stakeholders, gaining valuable exposure across the organisation.

This is a mainly desk-based role, with 2 days in the office (though 3 during your probation).  You’ll be part of a well-oiled collaborative team, who work supportively, to deliver a busy training and events programme that is hugely respected by the profession. To fit this role well, we’re looking for someone who:

• Is highly organised and enjoys managing multiple projects at once
• Has strong administrative skills with exceptional attention to detail – and enjoys doing a great job!
• Communicates clearly, confidently and professionally with a wide range of contacts
• Takes a proactive, can-do approach and enjoys problem-solving – enthusiastic!
• Has experience in training and/or events admin or coordination, or a similar administrative role (or strong transferable experience)
• A Grad background with some work experience, including strong customer service experience, could suit well
• Is comfortable using systems and technology, including Microsoft Office and online platforms such as Zoom (which is their main training delivery channel)
• Delivers excellent customer service and takes pride in producing high-quality work
• Enjoys working both independently and as part of a collaborative team
• Is eager to learn, develop, and build great skills and practices in events and training

What’s on offer:

• The chance to join a prestigious organisation within the legal sector – and be part of a friendly and supportive team
• A varied and hands-on role with real ownership of your own training portfolio
• Strong opportunities for development, including progression to managing your own smaller events
• Exposure to high-profile events, senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams
• A supportive and collaborative team environment
• Hybrid working (3 days in the office during probation, reducing to 2 days thereafter)
• Generous holiday allowance, including additional time off over the Christmas period
• Time off in lieu for any evening or weekend work

This role would suit someone early in their events and/or training career – perhaps a graduate or second jobber  – who is looking to build and consolidate strong skills and foundations within a professional and supportive environment. If you thrive on organisation, enjoy bringing programmes together behind the scenes, and want to develop your skills within a respected organisation, this is a fantastic opportunity to do so.  Click APPLY now as they’d love to have you on board asap!
