The RSAA has been changing rapidly in the last few years and you will be joining the team at an exciting time, as we approach our 125th anniversary in 2026.
Membership administration is the core of this diverse role and there is some scope to shape it to the strengths of the successful applicant.

Elements of financial administration, support to fundraising, publications and events will also be substantial parts of the job. A full job description and person specification can be downloaded.
