About Us:
The British Orthodontics Society is a prestigious charity based near London’s Blackfriars station. We were founded on 1st July 1994 by the unification of five existing national orthodontic societies. Although our founding associations go back as far as 1907 when The British Society for the Study of Orthodontics (BSSO) was established.
A registered charity, we pride ourselves in being the experts when it comes to tooth straightening. For over twenty-five years we’ve championed and supported orthodontics in the UK. As a professional society we have patients at the very heart of everything we do and are a trusted, expert resource to both patients and members alike.
The society has two primary objectives, the first is to our members, who are predominantly professional orthodontists who pay for society membership. The second is in our external facing work with members of the public, offering advice and support for orthodontic queries.
Led by a nominated board of trustees, we are a small, closely knit team, who appreciate our heritage and want to ensure that we consistently deliver high-quality advice and support. This is a fantastic opportunity to join our team and continue to build the charity and our offering.
About You:
You are a super organized and efficient assistant who is used to working at a fast pace with multiple responsibilities and workstreams. You like to support senior stakeholders; however, you also relish autonomous responsibilities and projects outside of the usual remit. You can effectively drive and deliver your own workload and priorities, in line with the Board’s vision, as well as partnering with the internal team to build and contribute to a positive internal culture. You aren’t afraid of getting your sleeves rolled up and helping out our small and close-nit team. You appreciate and understand the legacy and history of the Society and are keen to help continue to grow and improve our offering, consistently adding value for our Members.
What you are here to do:
You are the primary assistant for the Society. Working predominantly for the COO/MD and the Board, your role encompasses both traditional assistant and secretarial responsibilities, as well as some additional projects and deliverables such as managing incoming calls and emails from both members and the public alike. Your main responsibilities lie in the smooth running of the Society, our offices, and the timely response to incoming queries.
ABOUT US
Action Village India (AVI) is a small UK based organisation that since 1989, has been supporting Indian partner organisations who work alongside villagers in some of the most remote parts of rural India so they can improve their lives, livelihoods and resilience. We work towards an India which is just, fair and inclusive, where all people regardless of sex, gender identity, ethnicity, caste, religion can benefit from the country’s economic development and lift themselves out of poverty.
At the heart of our work, are our partnerships; many of which have spanned decades. Our partner organisations are led by Indians and whether these are large or small organisations, or social movements, all work directly at the grassroots level across rural India – from Bihar and Jharkhand in the North, in Odisha and down to Tamil Nadu in the South. The communities they work with, are some of the poorest in India. They are experts in their fields and work hand in hand with local people to design and inform projects to best serve their local communities and secure rights and social justice for women, men and children.
We accompany our partners for the long term, solidarity with our partners and their communities is at the core of how we work. This means we have developed relationships over the years, based on mutual respect, reciprocity and transparency. We are not governed by donor funding cycles and agendas but are led by our partners and the needs they identify and are committed to shared learning and collaboration. We keep our UK costs to a minimum with core staff and rely on an active and engaged set of Trustees, volunteers and supporters. Both staff and Trustees of Action Village India have relationships with staff from our partner organisations, created through ongoing dialogue, partner and community visits and participation in learning forums.
Job Purpose: To keep our office functioning smoothly. This is a multi-faceted role working closely with two other members of staff. This is a great opportunity for an organised self-starter who is interested in getting more experience in international development and the charitable sector.

Salary: £26,000 pro rata
Hours: 14 hours per week (equivalent to 2 working days) – ideally Wednesday and Thursday.

Operations Assistant
Doctors in Distress
London/Hybrid, mainly home working plus Central London co-working (Waterloo & Spitalfields)
Permanent
Part time, 21 hours per week with flexible working (0.6 FTE)
Salary £26,000 pro rata
Excellent benefits including 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays pro rata, 5% pension contribution, additional time off between Christmas and New Year period, and collaborative and purpose-driven team.
Are you passionate about making a real difference to the lives of healthcare professionals? Are you a highly organised and proactive individual with the ability to juggle multiple responsibilities and work effectively within a small team?
Charity People are delighted to be supporting Doctors in Distress, a charity dedicated to supporting the mental health and well-being of healthcare workers, to recruit an Operations Assistant to join their dedicated and collaborative team.
Doctors in Distress was founded in 2018 by Amandip Sidhu following the suicide of his brother Jagdip. Jagdip was a consultant cardiologist. He was overworked, burned out and felt he had nowhere to turn. He believed taking his life was the only answer. Amandip established the charity so no other healthcare worker would have to experience the same pain as Jagdip.
Healthcare workers are facing immense pressure. A 2023 survey showed that 34% of staff were suffering from burnout and 37.4% were emotionally exhausted because of work. The mental impact of the pandemic is still being felt by many, on a daily basis. Doctors in Distress is committed to reducing burnout and distress through support programmes and campaigns.
The Operations Assistant will play a key role in ensuring the smooth operation of Doctors in Distress, managing a range of administrative functions across programmes, operations, marketing and communications, finance, and campaigning activities.
Key Responsibilities
- Online Programmes: You will coordinate programme delivery, manage speakers and registrations, and gather feedback.
- Operations: You will manage the main inbox, support financial tasks, assist with IT and CRM management.
- Campaign Support: You will contribute to impactful campaigns, such as the National Memorial Tree Campaign.
The Operations Assistant will have 3-5 years of administrative experience and strong organisational, multitasking, and communication skills. The successful candidate will be proficient in CRM systems (Beacon or similar) and experienced in using Microsoft Office, including Teams, and with experience using Zoom. You will be proactive, self-motivated, and detail-oriented and capable of managing multiple priorities. The successful candidate will also be empathetic towards healthcare professionals' challenges.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work flexibly from home while being part of a dynamic team. You'll play a key role in operations, from supporting vital mental health programmes to contributing to impactful campaigns. You will enjoy the benefits of a hybrid work model, a supportive environment, and the chance to make a meaningful impact every day.
