Programme Coordinator Jobs

A4S overview
Accounting for Sustainability was established by HM King Charles III in 2004, when he was The Prince of Wales, to transform finance to make sustainable business, business as usual. Today we work with leading CFOs, finance managers, business schools, regulators, standard setters and more, to drive a fundamental shift towards resilient business models and a sustainable economy.
 

About the role
The role of Operations and Administrative Coordinator is essential to operational excellence and alignment across A4S – directly and indirectly supporting our global team to deliver their best work. 

This is a varied role which exposes you to every aspect of the running of an international not-for-profit. You will contribute to A4S’s governance, operations and programmes through project coordination, administration, research and reporting work. To do so, you will ably engage with a wide range of individuals, from all levels of our team, to our network members, external stakeholders and partners. As a member of the Operations team, you will champion and advance the tools and processes that underpin our working practices, and the overarching values and mission of A4S.
 

If you are ready to work together to influence how senior business leaders and global organizations respond to the sustainability challenges of the 21st century and to grow in a supportive environment, we would love to hear from you!

 

About you
We are looking for someone who understands the far-reaching impact that success in an operations and administrative role has for the whole organization – both day-to-day and for our longer-term objectives. 

You are highly organized and excel at prioritizing; comfortable balancing daily responsibilities, such as internal communications, meeting logistics and office management, with project coordination, reporting, and similar asks. You will have strong writing skills and a knack for clear, timely communication, supporting outputs like meeting materials and regular project updates.

With a keen eye for detail you will develop quality work and complete due diligence tasks and supplier coordination work to a high standard. You are tech-savvy, proficient in Microsoft 365, and comfortable making sure our IT support providers, and other suppliers, meet expectations. You can build strong relationships across all levels of seniority, both externally and internally. You are a proactive problem-solver, who knows when to escalate issues and maintain confidentiality. 

Familiarity with Salesforce, Zoom, Teamwork and Slack, and an interest in the intersection between sustainability and finance, will be an advantage.

Age UK Lambeth’s vision is to work closely with residents, closely to where they live, remain relevant and to respond locally to rising needs. We want to ensure that we are easy to access, working with local communities and providing the best support we can to residents and our partners such as secondary care. Hospitals need to free up beds by discharging patients who do not need to remain in hospital. Despite the pressures we want discharges to be safe, successful and as painless as possible for patients. We also want to ensure a patient is not readmitted into hospital. 

The Hospital Discharge Community Support Coordinator will match Age UK Lambeth (AUKL) volunteers and partner organisation volunteers to support a patient's discharge. Volunteers could provide support with transport, practical support such as food shopping or completing home safety checks. Upon discharge volunteers may continue supporting patients for up to 4 weeks, providing support in person (at the individual's home or in the community) and over the phone, linking them into support services and helping them access the community to prevent hospital readmission.

What you’ll be doing?

1. Oversee the development of a new, inclusive volunteer programme that offers a range of diverse and challenging volunteer roles to support patients leaving hospital and once settled home. 

2. Work in partnership with the VCS to create 100 volunteering opportunities to support hospital discharge.

3. Using the volunteer platform, Care for Me, track allocated tasks to ensure they’re completed. Monitor volunteer reports to review the support and work delivered under the project.

4. Develop and maintain strong working relationships with King’s College Hospital and Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital to ensure appropriate referrals are made into the service.

What you’ll benefit from

• Flexibility - this is a hybrid role with lots of community engagement and the chance to manage your own working day 

• Generous pension provision - 7% employer contribution

• 26 days holiday a year rising to 31 days after 5 years

• A great staff team
