JUST ONE Tree is a young, but award-winning, non-profit organisation. We’re tackling the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss through global reforestation. We make it simple for everyone to get involved because JUST £1 plants 1 Tree.
We are unique as we don’t just plant trees. We focus on restoring the entire eco-system in the oceans as well as on land, and we also educate the next generation of environmental guardians.
Sound like something you’d love to be part of? Join us in this important role.
THE ROLE:
Working alongside our founder Amanda, and other team members you’ll be right at the heart of the action. You’ll be the backbone of daily operations, providing vital support, handling all aspects of administration and ensuring the ship runs smoothly.
Your role will be pivotal in enabling us to be efficient and effective across our organisation and helping us to have an even bigger impact on restoring the planet.
We’re looking for someone who’s a solutions finder and ready to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. You’ll have great attention to detail and relish being organised and efficient. But you’ll also be able to bring the experience to take a step back and have a look at our systems and processes to suggest and implement efficiencies and improvements.
This is a permanent part-time role, 20 hours a week (half a day every day), with the opportunity to scale up in both responsibilities and hours as our organisation grows. We'll explore the exact hours and timings with you and together find what works.
So if you’re passionate about having a positive impact in the fight against climate change, want to work and interact with like-minded individuals (and have fun along the way) then we’d love to hear from you.
WHAT DOES THE ROLE INVOLVE:
· Operational Management: Streamline daily business operations, to keep an ever-improving and well-oiled machine. Enable and support the smooth onboarding of our new automatic donation system. Explore new software, systems and processes that will help as we grow to the next level.
· Administration: Executing a range of administrative tasks including donation logging, managing invoicing, tracking fundraising and data entry into Salesforce and Mailchimp.
· Communication Hub: Be the central point of communication, ensuring different parts of the team are kept updated and pulling in the same direction.
· Co-ordination: Oversee, run and deliver projects on time, from blogs and newsletters to the implementation of new tech systems.
· Processes: Oversee the smooth running of existing processes across the organisation and ensure the team utilise them correctly.
· HR: Lead on staff recruitment including hiring and onboarding new team members, performance reviews and overseeing the smaller details such as sick pay and annual leave.
· Policies: Keeping current policies and JOT handbooks up to date, adding new policies where needed and helping create those we are yet to think of.
· Logistics: Being a logistical wizard for team travel, events, meetings and internship organisation
· Company-wide Support: Be our 5th Emergency service! Support the small and passionate team to be the best they can be. You’ll have oversight of it all so we can run smoothly.
The right person with the right attitude is more important to us, than ticking all the boxes.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BE:
· Passionate and enthusiastic - we thrive on having a great bunch of people on our team, all working together for a better future.
· Dependable – reliable and committed. Your role and presence is foundational to the success of the organisation.
· Solutions finder – you know how to solve the problem or know the right person to ask for help…or even better, you’re a step ahead and already on it!
· Go-getter – proactive not reactive.
· Good communicator.
· Streamliner – you can spot how to improve a process a mile away!
· Dedicated – we want someone to be a long-term part of the team and grow with us as we scale up.
· Able to work remotely
· Have your own computer
· Fluent in English
· Fanatical about detail
· Organised
· Proficient with standard software eg. Microsoft word, Excel, Google docs
· Familiar with CRMs, ideally Salesforce, and other business support systems, or confident in picking up how ours works.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU:
· Working remotely – Like to work from home in your comfy slippers? No worries, we’re used to that. Our team is spread out all around the world. However, for this role we are seeking someone who lives in the UK, with easy access to London for team meet-ups.
· Flexible working – work around the school pick-up, after your morning swim or you’ve walked the dog – you decide. Your day will mainly need to fall within normal office hours, but you can jiggle it around what works for you.
· Holiday time – we believe in the importance of good mental health and family time. It’s a marathon not a sprint.
· Contributing to tackling one of the most pressing crises of our time – with a great team.
· Basic hourly rate with end of year and summer bonus, total equivalent to c. £28,000 - £30,000 if it were a full-time position
If you’re a person who loves blending attention to detail and an eye for data with good people skills and has a passion for being the supportive core at the heart of an environmental organisation, then we’d love to hear from you!
Most of all, we believe in working hard and having fun along the way! We're looking for someone to join us and be a great part of the JUST ONE Tree team.
JUST ONE Tree is uncomfortably aware of the lack of diversity in the environmental sector and we’re not ok with it. We know we’ll be even stronger and more effective in powering change if we are a more diverse team.
All qualified applicants will be considered regardless of race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, genetics, national origin, disability, age or any other grounds.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Stroke Association
Finding strength through support
When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That’s because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. Recovery is tough, but with the right specialist support and a ton of courage and determination, the brain can adapt.
We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it’s a team effort to get there.
We provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.
The Stroke Association is the only charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families. We provide tailored support to tens of thousands of stroke survivors each year. This support includes one-to-one and group support, funding vital scientific research into stroke prevention, acute treatment, recovery and long-term care, and campaigning to secure the best care for everyone affected by stroke.
We’re here for stroke survivors and their loved ones, from the moment they enter the new and frightening post-stroke world, supporting them every step of the way as they find their strength and their way back to life.
It’s only thanks to the generosity of our supporters and donors that we can provide vital support.
We’re working to improve the diversity of our people. We know that individuality leads to a richer experience for our people and better support for all those affected by stroke.
We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. We’re particularly looking to increase the number of applications from those with lived experience of stroke, and those from under-represented communities.
You may also have experience in areas such as Project Manager, Project Coordinator, Project Administrator, Project Lead, Project Officer, Junior Project Manager, Technology Project Coordinator, Admin, Administrator, Administration.
