Reports to: 3SG Operations & Comms Manager

About Us: 3SG is an independent membership network that has been supporting the charity, social enterprise, faith and voluntary sector operating in Bath and North East Somerset since 2018. We offer 1:1 support, training, networking, and advocacy work with local and national Government and the NHS. 3SG is a charity in its own right, which exists to offer valuable infrastructure support for the Third Sector in B&NES - everything that we do is for the benefit of our members; local charities, community groups and social enterprises.

Why we’re hiring: The organisation has grown significantly in the past few years, and is about to enter a new phase. We have secured a larger office space in Queen Square, which will allow us to offer low cost events and hot desking space for our 260+ membership of local charities, as well as providing a home for our now team of seven. This role is vital to the successful launch and daily running of our new hub. This is an exciting new role for someone that is passionate about supporting local charities, community groups and social enterprises, as well as helping to play a key part in the running of this new space and keeping our day to day operations running smoothly, working alongside our friendly team.

You will be required to keep organised and up to date records of 3SG member details, minutes, policies and other forms of data collected.
