Events and Projects Apprentice ( Level 4)

What You Will Do

Working closely with the Events Marketing Lead and the strategic marketing team, you'll play an active role in bringing our events to life across all Luminate brands. From open days and school outreach to major recruitment campaigns, you’ll help deliver dynamic, high-impact events that truly connect with prospective students.

You'll be part of creating standout experiences on campus, at external venues, and online designed to inspire, inform, and engage. You'll monitor event outcomes and impact, ensuring every event delivers value and makes a lasting impression.

This is a hands-on role where creativity, collaboration, and energy are key. You’ll work with curriculum teams, professional services, and the wider marketing department to help deliver innovative, interactive events that reflect our brand and deliver a first-class experience. Flexibility for occasional evening and weekend work is essential but so is a passion for creating events that make a difference.
