About the role
We need someone to join us in the fixed term six month role of Events and Administration Coordinator to provide critical administrative and logistical support across all of our programmes of work.
We need someone who can jump in and support the team on a range of projects, events and day to day work, who can make things happen, and help us to deliver our work to a standard we can all be proud of. This role is crucial to us in ensuring that everything runs smoothly, helping us with the logistics of our exciting events programme, and supporting our work with our members so that we continue to deliver what’s needed for London. This is a fixed term role to provide support over a busy period, so we need someone who is highly organised and willing to get involved with all aspects of our work to keep us all on track.
Our ideal candidate would be a highly organised individual who can use their skills to set up and support processes, to allow the team to work effectively, and who thrives working as part of a small team as well as working independently. We are looking for someone who will anticipate need and suggest solutions to challenges and use their initiative. Someone who cares about London’s communities and working towards lasting change. This job is ideal for those who want to learn more about the charity sector, and particularly London’s diverse civil society and its funding needs.
How to apply
If you’re interested in the role we just need you to send us your CV, together with a covering letter (no more than two sides of A4) that explains how your skills, experience and knowledge meet the criteria in the person specification and why you want to work with us at London Funders. We’d also like you to fill in a monitoring form, which will be detached from your CV/letter on receipt, and used to help us ensure that we’re reaching the full diversity of London’s communities with our recruitment. All personal details will be redacted from your CV and covering letter prior to shortlisting so please send in a Word or PDF format that can be copied and pasted.
The deadline for getting your application to us is 10am on 19 January 2023 – we’ll be shortlisting that day, and if you’re selected for interview we’ll invite you in to see us on either 24 or 25 January. When you meet us we’ll ask you to do a short test (of your computer and prioritisation skills, you won’t need to prepare in advance for this), and we’ll then have an interview with you which will also include some time for you to ask us any questions.
When you’re ready, send your CV, covering letter and diversity monitoring form to jessica.herbert@londonfunders.org.uk
