EF Education First’s mission is opening the world through education.

When you join EF, you join a multicultural and diverse community working across more than 600 schools and offices in 50 countries. In the UK and Ireland, our core presence is felt at our international language campuses and summer schools, where we welcome students from around the world to participate in language learning and cultural exchange.

Your Role & Responsibilities

EF is searching for empathetic, energetic and organised individuals to join our team as a Student Services Coordinator at our summer school in Brighton. As a Student Services Coordinator, you will be the face of the EF school for both our students and our staff. You will be responsible for welcoming our students with a smile, by being approachable for their daily needs as well as creating a lively and exciting atmosphere for them to enjoy.

The student services have a link to all departments and as it is the core of the production of the EF school, as such, no day will be the same. This means you will be involved in a number of different areas including preparing and running arrivals, relaying activity information and delivering briefings to new staff. You will also be involved in the running of activities and events, as well as dealing with student discipline and welfare issues should they arise.

The role can be very rewarding as it involves working alongside all the departments as well as closely with the students. You will develop knowledge from each department and is, therefore, a great stepping-stone for future roles within the company. Dealing with student and staff queries daily, you will not only enhance your customer service skills but also your communication skills and your ability to problem-solve and react quickly to demanding tasks.

This is a live in position where accommodation and full board is provided at no extra cost. Roles run from June/July – August 2025
