About Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance
Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) exists so nobody in Scotland suffers or dies because medical help cannot get there in time. People can get sick or have accidents anywhere and anytime. But in Scotland there are places where urgent medical help cannot reach people. Or help gets there too late. And when lives are at risk every minute matters.

This role will be based in Perth, at Scone Airport. SCAA supports flexible and hybrid working arrangements—our current approach typically includes two office days per week for those working on a hybrid basis (pro-rata).

Rays of Sunshine, recognised in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026, is looking for an experienced and proactive Executive Assistant to the CEO to join our small, ambitious and collaborative team.

This is a varied part-time role at the heart of the organisation, working closely with the CEO to provide high-quality executive support and help coordinate governance, projects, organisational priorities and key operational activity.

You will be joining Rays of Sunshine at an exciting point in our development, with a clear focus on strengthening how we work, delivering our ambitions well and continuing to grow our impact for seriously ill children and their families.

This is much more than a traditional diary-management role. You will work closely with the CEO across a broad range of priorities, helping to create structure, maintain momentum and ensure important actions are followed through. The role will involve coordinating meetings, briefings and actions; supporting Committee and governance processes; helping to keep key organisational projects on track; and providing practical support across operational activity.

You will also play an important role in the wider rhythm of the organisation, helping to coordinate team meetings, collaborative sessions, away days, staff engagement activity and actions arising from staff feedback.

We are looking for someone who is highly organised, calm under pressure and confident working independently. You will need excellent judgement and absolute discretion, with the ability to handle sensitive and confidential information appropriately. You will be someone who can anticipate what is needed, take ownership of tasks through to completion and build strong relationships with colleagues, Trustees, advisers, partners and suppliers.

Our team is small, values-led and ambitious. We value collaboration, kindness, accountability and a willingness to get stuck in. Because of our size, everyone has a visible impact, and this role will suit someone who enjoys being at the centre of an organisation, understands how to keep things moving and takes pride in doing the small things exceptionally well.

Experience in governance or the charity sector would be helpful but is not essential. We are more interested in finding someone with strong EA or senior coordination experience, excellent judgement and the ability to bring structure and pace to a busy environment.

At Rays of Sunshine, we brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families through magical wishes, hospital services and our wider Wish Community. This is an opportunity to use your skills in a role where the quality of your work will directly support the effectiveness and impact of the charity.

Applications will be reviewed as they are received, with interviews held on a rolling basis on or before 8 October 2026. An immediate start is desirable, so early applications are encouraged.

About parkrun

parkrun is a health and wellbeing charity and our vision is to create a healthier and happier planet. Since our conception in 2004, parkrun has evolved into a global social movement with a vibrant and inclusive community at its core. As of 2026, we have recorded over 160-million instances of walking, jogging, running, and volunteering.

Our mission is to transform lives by empowering people to be active, together, outdoors in their local community; and to protect parkrun for the generations to come. Each and every weekend, we deliver free, weekly timed events that people of all ages and backgrounds can join in. By tackling barriers to participation, we encourage communities to come together and embrace regular physical activity

Now in its 22nd year, parkrun spans over 2,900 locations in 23 countries with more than 12 million people registered, and counting.

And we have really only just begun.

Brief role description:

The Communications Assistant provides creative and administrative support across parkrun’s internal and external communications. The role contributes to the planning, production, and delivery of content that reflects parkrun’s values and engages its global community. Responsibilities include managing the content schedule, designing and preparing communication assets, and ensuring that online spaces remain welcoming, inclusive, and safe. The post requires strong organisational skills, attention to detail, creativity, and a collaborative approach to working with colleagues across teams 

Main responsibilities:

Content creation, storytelling, and media: Research, draft, and produce highly engaging blogs and case studies that capture the imagination of our community. Actively spot powerful individual stories and manage them - either as standalone features, as part of broader media moments, or fundraising campaigns - obtaining appropriate permissions and working closely with our press agency.

Content and channel management, and optimisation: Maintain our central communications grid. Manage the production, design, and distribution of our newsletters, retail and fundraising emails and other internal/external emails as required. Monitor and report on performance metrics (opens, clicks, visits etc) to continuously improve engagement.

Social media management and community building: Support the management of our social media channels (including scheduling and content creation) to build a vibrant, welcoming online presence. Actively monitor and respond to comments and messages, ensuring our digital spaces are warm, supportive, and inclusive for existing parkrunners, volunteers, and prospective newcomers alike.

Internal communications and adaptable team support: Assist in sharing internal updates to keep staff, volunteers, and key stakeholders aligned and informed. Provide flexible communications support across different projects and team objectives as organisational priorities evolve.

About the role:

Weekends can be a particularly important time in supported accommodation. With fewer services open and less structure around the day, having a consistent, trusted member of staff available can make a real difference to someone’s wellbeing, confidence and ability to keep moving forward.

As a Weekend Support Assistant at St John’s Mansions, you’ll provide practical, person-centred support to residents, helping them build the skills and confidence they need to live more independently. Working from agreed support and risk plans, you might help someone manage their money or accommodation, access appointments and community services, develop everyday living skills or stay engaged with activities and goals that matter to them.

You’ll also play an important role in keeping the service safe and well coordinated throughout the weekend. You’ll respond to changing needs, safeguarding concerns and unexpected situations, maintain accurate records and make sure important information is clearly handed over to the wider team. You’ll need to be approachable and compassionate, while also confident in setting boundaries, using your judgement and knowing when concerns need to be escalated.

You’ll join an experienced team where you can develop your knowledge of supported housing, safeguarding, recovery-focused practice and working alongside people experiencing multiple disadvantage, with access to training, supervision and ongoing development.

We have two roles available, 1x 37.5 hrs per week and 1x 22.5 hrs per week. Exact working patterns will be discussed in interview. 

About you:

• You can build positive, respectful relationships with people while maintaining clear professional boundaries.
• You’re able to encourage and motivate people to build confidence and independence, rather than simply doing things for them.
• You can stay calm, think clearly and respond appropriately when situations change or become challenging.
• You’re organised and reliable, with the ability to prioritise work, communicate clearly and keep accurate records.
• You understand, or are keen to develop your understanding of, homelessness, mental health, trauma, substance use and the barriers people can face when trying to move forward.

About us:

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

This is a hands-on administrative role in a small, friendly charity. You’ll help arrange meetings, share papers, track actions, maintain records, support communications and make sure the right people have what they need at the right time.

The role will suit someone organised, dependable and detail-focused: a practical all-rounder who takes pride in accuracy, follows through on tasks and enjoys keeping things running smoothly.

You may have experience as an administrator, team assistant, office coordinator, secretary, governance assistant or similar. You’ll be confident using common office systems, communicating clearly and warmly, and handling confidential information with care.

In return, you’ll join a welcoming organisation with varied work, great benefits, flexible full or part-time hours and the chance to support work that helps nature recover across Cheshire.

At Cheshire Wildlife Trust we embrace agile working with a focus on supporting you to achieve your objectives alongside a healthy work-life balance. We operate a hybrid working policy with most staff working at least part of the week from home and/or out on site.

We are open to both full-time and part-time applicants. We’re happy to discuss working patterns with candidates.

Closing date: Sunday 4 October 2026

Join the London District and become part of a collaborative, supportive team.

As our Operations Support Assistant, you will be a key member of the team, contributing to the many workstreams that support the life of Methodism across London. We are looking for an excellent organiser who can manage their own workload, support others and provide first-rate administrative assistance. You will also be confident using a range of IT applications. We value people who think independently, take initiative and work collaboratively - sharing ideas and helping to turn them into action. You will work closely with the existing Operations Support Assistant in a job-share like partnership, keeping in touch and sharing information to support one another. This part of the job-share partnership will focus on managing the District Chairs diaries, coordinating room bookings and leading support for the Justice and Mission Group. 

Why work with us?
You will enjoy a central office in Westminster, the flexibility to work remotely and the support of welcoming colleagues. We also offer flexible working arrangements, learning and development opportunities, competitive pay, a pension and generous annual leave. We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion - and to creating a workplace where everyone can contribute and thrive.
