Member Services Officer

Part-time – Office based SE17 and SE1 from 2028

Salary - £43,000 pro-rata – 4% pension contribution – 20 days holiday – 3 days per week

Since 1717 we have been helping look after older people in the London Borough of Southwark.

We provide:

Affordable housing for older people in need, hardship or distress.

£500,000 of grant funding for local organisations working with older people.

Run a membership scheme for local people providing annual stipends and a full programme of social activities.

We are currently expanding our housing offer by redeveloping our Blackfriars Rd site and have an ambitious plan to more than double our almshouse stock over the next 8 years to provide even more genuinely affordable housing for people who need it the most.  We are also increasing our grant giving and expanding the number of members we support.

Our staff team will be growing to reflect our plans for growth and this post will be an integral part of the organisation. You will need to be highly organised, excellent at maintaining records, a person who likes and has a great connection with older people.

Our Member Services Officer will be office based for 3 days a week and responsible for organising and attending our calendar of social activities as well as helping our residents by providing welfare advice and support, fielding queries and providing office support for our senior team and Trustees. Post holders will be required to have a full DBS check and complete first aid training.
