This is an exciting time for us and we are expanding our services to meet growing demand.

Role description

This will include fielding phone and emailed member queries in a timely and friendly fashion and logging queries and activities on our membership database.

Please see below for a full Job Description and Person Specification

Terms of Reference

The post is offered on a full time basis, on a permanent contract with a six-month probationary period. The salary will be £28,500.

At the PSHE Association, we believe in a healthy work-life balance. That is why we offer a nine-day fortnight working pattern, giving our team every other Friday off (in other words a long weekend twice a month). We believe this gives employees more time to recharge and more time for what matters to them. This shorter working week benefit (equivalent to 32 hours per week on full pay) kicks in once employees have successfully completed three months of their probationary period, with a standard 35-hour working week in place up until that point. 

Our offices are based in central London, close to Russell Square, and this is where the role will be primarily based alongside some days of the week working from home.

How to apply

To apply please send a CV and covering letter using Charity Job by Monday 7th September at 9AM.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend a first round interview on Thursday 17th September on Zoom. There will also potentially be a second round interview held face to face on the week of Monday 21st September in our London office.

The cover letter is an important part of the process, and we will not consider any applications without a cover letter attached. This letter should provide an overview and personal reflections about why you meet the criteria and how your skills and experience are applicable.
