Tower Poetry Submissions Assistant

Christ Church seeks to appoint up to two graduate assistants to support the Tower Poetry competition entry process during Hilary Term 2026. 

Tower Poetry was established in 1999, following a benefaction to Christ Church by the late Christopher Tower. It is overseen by Dr Anna Nickerson. The aims of Tower Poetry are to stimulate the enjoyment and critical appreciation of poetry, particularly among young people in education, and to encourage young people in the writing of their own poetry.

The Tower Poetry Submissions Assistant is responsible for processing entries to the annual Tower Poetry Competition using Submittable, checking for eligibility and adding appropriate tags, and reporting to the Tower Poetry Administrator any queries or concerns, including questions around eligibility and safeguarding concerns.
