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.

Every year in the UK thousands of unpaid carers look after someone with dementia but receive little or no support. At Dementia Carers Count, we stand for them. We campaign for change and provide practical, emotional and financial support to dementia carers across the UK.
Our Carers Support Service delivers free advocacy, casework, and counselling, so no carer feels invisible, isolated or alone. Carers describe the service as life changing.
The Advice and Advocacy Specialist will be responsible for assessing and supporting dementia carers when they first contact the service. This role will also deliver casework to secure rights and services. We are looking for someone who understands carers rights and has experience of delivering successful casework. We need someone who is adaptable and open-minded, but also able to focus on quality assurance and carer outcomes.
We are a small and remote multi-disciplinary team, committed to making a difference for carers and supporting each other. The role can be based anywhere in the UK, with attendance at monthly in-person meetings in London.
If you like the sound of the role, and believe you have the skills and experience to join us, then we would love to hear from you.
