7 Administrator jobs in Ely, Cambridgeshire

Frazzled is a small mental health and wellbeing charity founded by Ruby Wax OBE, based on the power of emotional openness. Our free, volunteer-led meetings run online every single day of the year, alongside face-to-face groups, offering people a chance to share, listen and feel heard in a supportive community.

We're looking for a confident, positive self-starter with a high level of emotional intelligence, attention to detail and excellent communication skills to be our new Programme Support and Admin Officer.

You will coordinate our meeting schedule, manage busy inboxes and help our volunteers feel supported. Working closely with the Programmes Manager, you will keep services running smoothly and our systems well organised. You will also support the CEO and Head of Fundraising with application administration, reports, meetings and events.

Practical confidence with technology is essential. You will investigate everyday Zoom problems and help facilitators resolve them patiently, following through on queries and referring concerns to the Programmes Manager.

Working pattern

Our meetings run from early morning until late evening, seven days a week. Hours can be spread across the week, with weekday inbox checks and some evening and occasional weekend support for technical or meeting issues. All checks and out-of-hours work form part of your 24 contracted hours, with clear cover arrangements.
