Are you an experienced administrator or PA looking for a role where you can make a meaningful contribution within a values-led organisation?

We are working with a well-established charitable organisation that is seeking a highly organised and professional Senior Administrator to provide support to a busy senior leadership office.

This is a varied and rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys coordinating multiple priorities, building strong relationships with stakeholders and ensuring the smooth running of a fast-paced office environment.

Working as part of a small and collaborative team, you'll play a key role in supporting senior leaders, managing communications and helping deliver a first-class administrative service.

This position will suit someone who thrives on organisation, enjoys working with people and takes pride in providing reliable support behind the scenes.

This is a busy, hands-on role where no two days are the same. Responsibilities will include:

  • Managing complex diaries and coordinating meetings
  • Monitoring inboxes and responding to enquiries appropriately
  • Organising travel arrangements and hospitality requirements
  • Planning and coordinating meetings, events and stakeholder visits
  • Preparing correspondence, presentations, reports and meeting papers
  • Taking meeting minutes and tracking follow-up actions
  • Managing expenses and general administrative processes
  • Acting as a professional first point of contact for visitors and stakeholders
  • Maintaining accurate records, filing systems and confidential information
  • Liaising with internal teams and external partners to gather information and coordinate activities
  • Supporting wider operational and administrative projects as required

About You

We're keen to hear from candidates who have gained experience within the charity, not-for-profit, education, membership, healthcare, faith-based or public sectors.

  • You'll Bring
  • Previous experience in a senior administration, PA, team support or office management role
  • Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
  • Strong diary and inbox management experience
  • Exceptional attention to detail and a proactive approach
  • Confidence communicating with stakeholders at all levels
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Advanced Microsoft Office skills, including Outlook, Word, Power Point and Excel
  • Experience coordinating meetings, events and administrative processes
  • The ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion
  • A reliable, professional and committed approach to work

An understanding of the Catholic Church or experience working within a faith-based organisation would be beneficial but is by no means essential.

More important is a genuine respect for the organisation's values and a willingness to work within this environment.

Why Apply?

  • Opportunity to join a highly respected charitable organisation
  • Varied and engaging role with exposure to senior stakeholders
  • Supportive and collaborative working environment
  • Immediate start available
  • Initial 4-month assignment with the potential for extension
  • Predominantly office-based role with some hybrid flexibility
  • Chance to make a meaningful contribution within the not-for-profit sector
  • Additional Information
  • Interviews scheduled for the week commencing 14 September
  • Successful applicants should be available to start as soon as possible thereafter
  • Appointment subject to a satisfactory Basic DBS check

We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your skills, ability and potential; please contact us if you require any assistance or adjustment so that we can help with making the application process work for you.
