Today, we are proudly a B Corp and an Employee-Owned Business. We're not interested in quick wins, instead we're driven by delivering impactful recruitment, appointments that can genuinely change the world.

About the role

The role will support our varied and diverse teams across all things administration with a focus on supporting a specific team for part of the week. This might involve helping us to book interviews for our clients, supporting the candidate journey, formatting CVs or it could include administering our database and intranet. The role would also support the teams with business development tasks and projects.

At the heart of this role is a variety of administration tasks so we're seeking candidates who enjoy supporting colleagues with organising, editing and communicating. You will need to be proficient using a variety of IT programmes, including MS applications and Adobe.

About you

You'll thrive in this role if you're friendly, approachable, and confident speaking to a wide range of individuals - whether that's colleagues, candidates, or external partners.

You'll be adaptable and highly organised, with a great eye for detail, and you'll enjoy being busy in a dynamic environment where every day brings something different. You'll naturally communicate with warmth and clarity, both in writing and in conversation, and you'll take pride in helping others and providing excellent service.

You'll also be confident using applications such as Adobe, Microsoft Office tools (Excel, Word, Teams and SharePoint), and able to analyse information, conduct research and think creatively when challenges arise.

Most importantly, you'll be reliable, discreet, and committed to delivering high-quality work with integrity.

A bit about us and our values

We strive to ensure our workplace is inclusive, supportive, successful and fun. We are passionate about our role in supporting the non-profit sector to recruit more effectively, efficiently, and inclusively. We support diversity recruitment efforts because at the executive level minoritized groups are hugely underrepresented in our sector.

That is our motivation and our mission.

Our head office is near London Bridge though all of our staff work flexibly. We anticipate candidates needing to come into the office 1-2 days per week with this role.

We want our workforce to be more representative of all sections of society at all levels in the organisation. The range of perspectives and experience diversity brings is an asset and we want to create an inclusive, welcoming environment for our staff team, candidates and the charities we work with.

This is an entirely voluntary disclosure, if you are not comfortable disclosing your disability, you can choose to not participate in this scheme.
