Event Planner

PART TIME – 2 DAYS PER WEEK

SELF EMPLOYED CANDIDATE WELCOME TO APPLY

We are a leading technology-based company with many years’ experience in providing specialist products and solutions for the mission critical Emergency Services industry and other related markets.  Our operating brands, including MedServ, MedSupply, Insight, and Asset Finance, give us the ability to flex and adapt to our customers’ demands, helping support our mission to continually improve and deliver better health outcomes for all.

We have offices situated in Nottinghamshire, Suffolk, and Clackmannanshire. This role can be based at any of our offices, but the successful candidate will be expected to travel to other offices as required and therefore a driving licence is an advantage. The core operating hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, but some flexibility will be required to support the business needs.

 The position of Group Marketing Executive will involve working closely with our teams throughout the Group, but a willingness to self-manage is a prerequisite.

• Manage all aspects of event planning meeting strict deadlines and budget demands
• Nurture and build relationships with vendors, venues, and other industry contacts to implement creative and logistical aspects of all events

• Establish standard procedures and train staff to execute them
• Comply with legal, insurance, health and safety regulations at all times
• Coordinate with internal staff, clients, vendors, and others to establish needs for events, and serve as liaison to senior level executives, government officials, and industry leaders throughout the planning process
• Research resources, make site visits, and lead pre-event meetings when necessary to help staff make decisions about event design
• Plan and facilitate logistics for all events, including contract negotiations, guest lists, venue preparation, presentation materials, security, catering, entertainment, transportation, equipment, decor, and marketing materials
• Oversee client experiences from conception through post-event, managing on-site preparations, production, and event breakdown, ensuring consistent, high-level service throughout all phases
• Maintain and build a comprehensive database of industry contacts, vendors, and venues
• Troubleshoot and handle any issues that arise on the event day
