Marketing Assistant Jobs

Maudsley Charity funds and promotes ideas, collaborations and teams that give people most affected by mental ill-health the best chance to recover and fulfil their potential. We work with NHS, academia and community organisations. 

An exciting support role has become available in Maudsley Charity’s Grant Programmes team.

Are you looking for a new challenge, a place you’ll be valued, and a team you can make an impact on to achieve common goals? Can you communicate effectively and work with a senior team and senior external stakeholders?

We’re looking for a Team Support Officer and PA to provide PA support to our Director of Programmes and provide administrative support to the Programmes team’s delivery of work. The ideal candidate will share our values, have excellent attention to detail, a strong sense of initiative and an approachable manner.

Maudsley Charity – Team Support Officer and PA

Location: Denmark Hill, London (and home working)  

Salary: £33,000 per annum, plus excellent benefits 

Contract: Permanent        

Our small, ambitious team works in a collaborative and supportive way. A big focus of the role is prioritisation and planning, so you’ll support the Director of Programmes, Head of Impact & Effectiveness and wider team to prioritise, forward plan, manage diaries and prepare for meetings. This is a great role for someone wanting to develop their administrative experience and exposure to board and executive level working. You will have responsibility for supporting a Trustee level grant making committee. You’ll get exposure to the strategic overview of the Charity and insight into managing teams, grant-making and charity operations. You’ll quickly see the impact you can make within the team to improve our effectiveness and ways of working; and what we’re working to achieve as a charity. 

Maudsley Charity works primarily with South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London, as well as a range of voluntary and community organisations to fund ideas, big and small, that drive service improvement and support people who experience mental illness. 

The Charity operates primarily within the four boroughs served by South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark), but the work we fund has the potential for wider impact at both national and international levels, through the sharing of the outcomes with the wider mental health community. The Charity is committed to ongoing development and learning about how to make an impact. Find out more about our change model that underpins our way of working.

We are based in our vibrant offices in the Ortus Centre, Denmark Hill; a great place to work and hold events. We offer a friendly working culture, with the following benefits for our staff (just to name a few):

• Hybrid working, 2-3 days spent with the team at Ortus/onsite each week and 2-3 days at home/offsite.
• 25 days annual leave, with a further one day after 3 years’ service and a further one day after 5 years’ service. Plus, additional non-working office closure days over the Christmas period.
• Pension scheme with up to 6% employer contribution, subject to a minimum 3% employee contribution.
