Campus Clubs Advisor

**Campus Clubs Advisor - NAIT Students' Association**

**About NAITSA**

The NAIT Students’ Association (NAITSA) is a registered non-profit organization that exists to provide services, representation and leadership to students enrolled in credit and apprenticeship programs in one of Canada’s largest polytechnic institutions, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT). The Campus Clubs department supports student leaders in running successful clubs at NAIT to showcase their passions and interests. Getting involved in clubs can provide for an enhanced post-secondary experience.

**The Opportunity**

Campus Clubs is a team of four full-time staff that work together to provide direct support to student leaders in their involvement with clubs at NAIT. The Campus Clubs Advisor acts as the first point of contact for club leaders seeking support and assistance, and provides customer service and administrative support.

To be successful in this role, you will be friendly and welcoming, creating an atmosphere at the Clubs front desk where student leaders feel comfortable approaching and asking questions. You will become knowledgeable on all aspects of Campus Clubs and be able to speak to student leaders about the process of starting up a club at NAIT, helping turn their ideas into reality, and know where to redirect their questions when necessary. We are looking for a team player with positive energy who student leaders and the rest of the Clubs team can rely on to contribute to overall student success.

The role of supporting post-secondary students is a rewarding experience and an opportunity to continue building on the following skills: Communication, Problem Solving, Club Administration, and Public Speaking.
