If so, Back Up could offer you an inspiring and fulfilling role making a significant difference to the lives of people affected by spinal cord injury.

About the role:

Additionally, you will assist the team when required in matching individuals with suitable mentors and gathering feedback to measure impact.

As a Mentoring Referrals Coordinator, you will be motivated to meet goals related to high-quality referrals and matches. You will also be comfortable managing data efficiently and ensuring GDPR compliance.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a passionate and dedicated team, making a tangible difference in the lives of individuals affected by spinal cord injury.

A unique chance to make a real difference in the lives of children

Are you, like us, passionate about transforming the lives of children? We need your help to bring sustainable change to the most deprived children in the world, living in Darfur, Sudan, who are facing the threat of starvation and violence as the ongoing conflict in Sudan continues to threaten lives.

We need an Administrator to join our small, but dynamic team. You will have fun and learn many new skills as we work together. You will generally work from home, but as you will need to visit our office in Dorking, Surrey, once or twice a week, you will need to live within a reasonable distance. This is a key position with the responsibility of running the office, working with volunteers, supporting our Founder/Chairman, CEO and Deputy CEO, and ensuring our donors are kept up to date with all we are doing to help children so far away. You will get to know our supporters across the world many of whom have been helping Kids for Kids since we were founded in 2001.

About Kids for Kids

Kids for Kids is the only charity founded specifically to help children in one of the most challenging regions of the world, Darfur, Sudan. For the past 24 years we have been transforming the lives of whole communities through a unique package of integrated projects, working closely with the villagers themselves. Since 2001 we have adopted 110 villages transforming the lives of over half a million people. Despite ongoing violence we are still the only organisation delivering aid to remote communities thanks to volunteers in Darfur.  

What we are looking for

This is a key position as it will be your responsibility to ensure the smooth-running of the charity, enabling us to support even more children and their families. You will be the righthand person for our Founder/Chairman, CEO, and Deputy CEO. You will be in touch with supporters across the world. You will assist with drafting documents and correspondence with our supporters. You will be responsible for data entry and help us to migrate to a CRM system in the coming months. Event planning and coordinating with the rest of the team will be part of your brief, as will organising talks across the country to help raise awareness of our unique sustainable projects. You will be experienced with spreadsheets and with mailings, including the use of Reports from our current Access database. 2

Your efficiency in keeping accurate records and communicating effectively with our supporters will contribute directly to the extent in which we can help in Darfur. The administrative team is small, so your position is hugely important. You must have a keen eye for detail and love administrative tasks. Accuracy is essential. Because we all work from our own homes it is important that you are a good communicator, sharing our team spirit and ethos.

This is an immensely rewarding position, requiring someone who has a can-do attitude, is hardworking, efficient, has excellent attention to detail, can work in a fast-paced environment and is good at managing your own time. You will interact with our donors and Patrons as part of the public face of Kids for Kids, but most of all you will be as determined as we are to make a lasting difference to children’s lives.

About the organisation

The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) is the leading charitable organisation promoting the enjoyment, study and conservation of wild plants in Britain and Ireland. We aim to build a diverse community of skilled and enthused botanists, provide data and science to help address biodiversity loss and climate change and disseminate information to drive a passion for plants. To do this we provide opportunities for involvement for all through a range of participation projects, surveys, indoor and outdoor events, training opportunities and the production of books and other resources. Our Distribution Database (DDb) holds over 50 million plant records, making it one of the world’s largest biological recording databases and in March 2023 we published the third Plant Atlas, mapping changes in the distribution of British and Irish flora. Our latest organisational Strategy, available on our website, describes our future plans. 

About the role

An exciting opportunity has arisen to become the first Administration Officer for the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland. The charity and our membership and activities have grown rapidly over the last five years through two rounds of strategic change. There is continued strong demand for our data, expertise and skills, creating opportunities to develop our projects and partnerships. We need excellent administration in place  to ensure we are deploying our capacity and resources in the best way to support the Society and our members and to advance the understanding and appreciation of wild plants.

This role provides an excellent opportunity to work across the BSBI, supporting staff and volunteers in the smooth running of the Society, helping shape processes for a resilient future. 

The post would suit an early career individual with an interest in botany/ecology who is keen to develop their skills and their network through a full-time post within the charitable sector, or an experienced administrator looking to make a vital contribution to a growing organisation.
