Join our vibrant university community and make a difference to student life! We are seeking a dynamic and organised individual to join our team as a Clubs' Coordinator. The successful candidate will be responsible for coordinating various clubs within our Massey University Manawatū campus, ensuring smooth operations and engaging experiences for students.

Who are we?

Te Tira Ahu Pae is the students’ association for Massey University.

• Coordination of campus-wide events and initiatives involving student clubs, e.g., Clubs’ Day.
• Administration of club grant applications to enable clubs to meet their goals and enhance campus life.
• Ensuring that accurate records related to club activities, grants, and membership are kept.
• Provision of ongoing support and resources to clubs, including workshops, event planning assistance, and networking opportunities that foster a sense of community.
• Proactive engagement with students to ensure that clubs are relevant to the current student population.
• Working in partnership with the wider Clubs’ team and participation in development of clubs’ related policies and procedures.

Why you should join our team:

• You'll get to work in a vibrant office in the midst of the campus.
• Additional 5 days annual leave during campus closure (Easter and Christmas).
• Rewarding work where outcomes change lives.
• Carpark included.
• Professional development opportunities.
