About the Foundation
JLF is an independent grant-making charity. We make grants to support a range of charitable causes in the UK and Israel. We are currently focussing our support on a small number of topics including young people experiencing disadvantage, and Cystic Fibrosis. We have a turnover of around £900,000 each year.
Our work is overseen by a Board of Trustees and we have a small staff team of 3 – including the post of Administrator.
We are based in London, close to Edgware Road tube station.
We are currently going through reorganisation and we are looking to recruit someone on a fixed term contract to provide administrative support to the Foundation during this period of change.
About the role
A key part of a small team, the Administrator supports colleagues by ensuring the smooth running of the JLF’s office and often being the first point of contact for visitors and callers.
The Administrator role is varied and has regular contact with external and internal stakeholders. The successful candidate will provide outstanding customer service and be able to prioritise their workload effectively. We are looking for someone who has paid or unpaid experience in an admin role and who is used to working in a small team. You will need to have a good knowledge of office systems and strong IT skills as well as good organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
The role will provide an opportunity to learn about grant-making and might suit someone interested in moving on to a full-time grant-making role elsewhere in future.
