About you
We are looking for a candidate that takes genuine satisfaction from keeping teams, systems and processes in order and that recognises the value of strong administration.
To be successful, it is important that you have:
• Experience of operating administrative systems and working in a large, complex office environment.

• A high level of computer literacy (Microsoft Office, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and databases).
• Ability to organise and prioritise multiple tasks efficiently and deliver tasks to tight deadlines.
• Ability to work flexibly, managing reactive and proactive work from a range of colleagues.
• Good relationship-building skills, with the ability to tailor communication methods to different audiences.
• Ability to be proactive and show initiative with demonstrable ‘can do' approach to work.

• We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
• We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
