Arc is UNSW’s student organisation. We know that the best parts of going to uni is all the stuff you do outside the classroom, and we pride ourselves on making that experience awesome. We do that through a huge range of opportunities and services available to students online and in-person.
Working at Arc you’ll join a welcoming team of full of like-minded students, who believe in listening to students, working together and having fun between hard work. Work perks include professional development opportunities, the occasional work cake party, tickets to the Arc Annual Dinner, and more. But probably the best thing you’ll get out of working here are some friendships you’ll never forget.
Shape the student experience at UNSW! Work alongside a team of full-time and student staff to engage and develop the students of UNSW by supporting over 350 student-run Clubs. Help strengthen Arc’s Clubs program with Arc-affiliated Clubs by assisting with events & initiatives, improving administrative processes and building healthy relationships with them to ensure their club runs optimally!
If you’re an all-rounder with an eye for detail, and you’re looking to gain entry-level experience in events and administration (with a side of community engagement), this is the role for you!
