Inspire. Empower. Invest.
About GAIN
GAIN (Girls Are INvestors) is a UK charity working to close the gender gap in the investment management industry. Through school and university programmes, employer partnerships and digital learning, we help young women and non-binary students discover, prepare for, and access careers in investment.
About the role
We're looking for an organised, proactive administrator to join our Schools & Early Talent team for eight weeks during our busiest period of the year. This is a full-time, fixed-term role, mostly supporting the smooth onboarding of schools and students onto our School Investment Challenge (SIC) — one of our flagship programmes, reaching over 1,000 students and 100 schools annually — alongside some administrative support across our other programmes.
You'll report to the Schools & Early Talent Manager and work closely with the Senior Coordinator.
Key responsibilities
School Investment Challenge onboarding (the bulk of your time, especially November–early December)
- Monitor school and student onboarding progress on our systems (Beacon and LearnWorlds), chasing outstanding tasks
- Contact schools and students directly to complete onboarding steps, including consent forms and programme agreements
- Act as a first point of contact for LearnWorlds access queries (e.g. password resets, adding new users)
- Confirm onboarding completion with schools and share supporting materials
- Report onboarding status weekly to the Manager, flagging anything that needs escalating
University Investment Challenge (UIC) admin support (October–early December)
- Respond to LearnWorlds queries, including access issues
- Provide admin support for planning our in-person and virtual live finals — from gathering resources to coordinating attendee details
School partnerships (October)
- Research schools and education organisations outside the UK to support our global partnerships strategy
- Send initial outreach emails to potential partners and help arrange introductory calls
GAIN On Demand support (October–November)
- Respond to LearnWorlds queries from learners on our digital programme
Hours, pay and duration
- 40 hours per week, Monday–Friday (1 hour paid lunch included)
- £13.45 per hour across the UK/£14.80 per hour in London (Real Living wage)
- Fixed term for 8 weeks, ideally starting mid-October 2026 and running to early December 2026
What we're looking for
- Strong organisational skills and comfortable managing several strands of work with competing deadlines
- Confident communicator, happy corresponding with schools, students and colleagues
- Comfortable picking up new systems quickly (training on Beacon and LearnWorlds will be provided)
- Previous experience in an admin, coordination, or programme support role is helpful but not essential
- A genuine interest in GAIN's mission is a bonus
