Responsibilities
What are we looking for?
We are a modern, friendly and diverse college and this new initiative is designed to help students
get the most out of their time at Fitz, whatever their background. This role will be flexible and
creative, giving you the opportunity to help shape a new programme right from the start. You will
be working closely with students and academic staff to develop meaningful content, while also
tackling the practicalities of running a regular timetable of events and making sure we promote it
effectively. We’re looking for an enthusiastic and personable self-starter, who works efficiently,
has an eye to detail and excellent written and verbal skills. The role is a mix of specific hours – to
cover the events themselves – and then flexible working outside this.
What is FITZ+?
FITZ+ is a new framework to unify and further develop extra-curricular initiatives offered by the
College. Under the umbrella ‘FITZ+’, we will deliver three strands of activity: STUDY (support for
academic work, managing exams, notetaking etc.); LIFE (mental and physical well-being,
spirituality, social skills); CAREER (researching jobs, making effective applications, mentoring).
