Networking Facilitator

Post-Grad Connects: London College of Fashion 

Role: Networking Workshop Facilitator 
Location: Student Hub, London College of Fashion, East Bank 
Dates and Times: Wednesday 18 November 2026, 10.30am to 3.30pm 
Hours paid: 5 hours (Grade 2 via Arts Temps) 

Open to postgraduate students from all UAL colleges and institutes, Post-Grad Community’s Post-Grad Connects is a day of conversation, connection and creative networking. 

Purpose of Role 

We're looking for a current student or alumni to support UAL's Post-Grad Community team in designing and facilitating an engaging networking activity at our Post-Grad Connects event. 

The activity should help attendees break the ice, start conversations, and build connections with fellow postgraduate students beyond their own course or College. 

Examples of networking activities might include: 

• • Networking prompt cards
  • Creative or personality matching
  •  A networking treasure hunt 
  • Speed networking

We're open to creative ideas and suggestions. The event is expected to welcome 100-200 postgraduate students and will operate as a drop-in and open plan format, so any activity should be accessible, inclusive, and easy for participants to join at any stage.  

There will be up to 10 tabletop activities and UAL departments in the space, so the networking activity needs to be roaming around the event, rather than in 1 fixed spot.  

The aim is to create a welcoming environment that encourages students to connect, share experiences, and expand their networks within the UAL community. 

Key Responsibilities 

• • Design and develop an engaging and inclusive networking activity for postgraduate students.
  • Facilitate and promote the activity during the event, encouraging participation and helping students make meaningful connections.
  •  Adapt the activity to work effectively within a drop-in event format and across the available event space.
  •  Work collaboratively with the Post-Grad Community team to refine ideas and ensure the activity aligns with event objectives. 
  • Gather informal feedback and observations to help evaluate the success of the activity and inform future events.
