The Association of University Legal Practitioners (AULP) is the association for in-house lawyers working in Higher Education. Our members are drawn from in-house teams across Great Britain and Ireland, who wish to share their knowledge and experience to tackle common challenges arising in the Higher Education sector. Working together, we aim to help shape sector-wide responses to emerging issues, provide a safe environment to share technical legal and strategic challenges, and offer peer to peer support for legal teams of all sizes.
AULP supports its members to help the sector operate effectively through an increasingly complex legal and regulatory landscape, identifying and managing risks across the whole range of legal issues Higher Education Institutions face. AULP also creates professional development and career progression opportunities for its members – helping the sector’s lawyers to be the best they can be. We are led by an Executive Committee, who meet monthly with diverse representatives from a range of institutions, in terms of size and geography.
We are looking for a Membership Officer to join our team and perform a crucial membership support role for the Association of University Legal Practitioners (AULP). We are looking for a candidate who can work 0.4 fte, but there will be 2-3 weeks a year where we need the candidate to work full time, to support our main conference. Time off in lieu will be given.
The successful candidate will become an essential part of the team, providing administrative support to the AULP executive committee. Working closely with colleagues, you’ll need to work efficiently and with attention to detail, display excellent customer service skills, and relate well to members. You will help organise and run events, manage the database and update the website, and undertake other support tasks as required.
The post-holder reports to the AULP Executive Officer and has no line management responsibilities. This role will be home-based and include some UK travel and occasional overnight stays around key meetings and conferences.
