We offer accommodation advice and advocacy, family services and a youth mentoring programme that support hundreds of families and individuals each year. Our community development, research, policy work and campaigns are rooted in community involvement and lived experience and aim to create long-term positive change for Gypsies and Travellers across London and an end to the discrimination they face every day.
We are a small, committed and supportive team of 12 staff who seek to live out our organisational values throughout our work: Collaboration, Courage, Empowerment, Inclusivity, Equity, Community.
LGT is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity in its workforce. We strongly encourage applications from Gypsy and Traveller communities.
About the role
This Operations & Administration Coordinator role is a diverse and hands-on role, covering a wide range of tasks and responsibilities that are essential to the smooth, efficient running of the organisation. It's a part-time position for three days (21 hours) a week.
You will provide day‑to‑day operational coordination across IT systems, office management, finance administration and HR processes, alongside varied administrative support. Acting as a central point of contact, you will work closely with colleagues, external suppliers and advisors to ensure our working environment, systems, policies and processes are practical, compliant and support staff to do their best work.
The role works with all staff and external suppliers, particularly the Resilience Strategy Lead, Finance Officer, CEO and external IT support providers.
Please review the job description attached below for more detailed explanation of key responsibilities and requirements.
About you
The role is ideal for someone who is adaptable, organised and enjoys problem‑solving and improving systems. You’ll be comfortable juggling multiple priorities, communicating clearly with people with different levels of technical knowledge, and working independently while staying connected to a small team.
This is a varied role and we don’t expect you to already be an expert in all of the responsibility areas. We welcome applicants with different strengths and backgrounds and there is plenty of scope to learn and develop in the role. We’ll support you to do this through supportive line-management, development opportunities and training where needed.
Although solid IT skills and knowledge are essential, this is not a technical specialist role - the emphasis is on coordination and oversight, liaising between colleagues, external advisors and technical support, and following issues and projects through to completion.

JOB TITLE: Societies Coordinator (x2)
SALARY: £30,900
LOCATION: LSE Students’ Union (Holborn, London)
WORKING HOURS: 37 hours per week
CONTRACT TYPE: Permanent
JOB SUMMARY: This role will be responsible for supporting and empowering Student Leaders, so that they and their Societies are able to organise a diverse range of high quality activities and events – thereby enhancing students’ overall extracurricular experience at LSE.
//
Who are we?
Part business, part charity, part membership body – students’ unions are all seriously fun places to work. They are organisations in their own right. Professionally run, but different. Professional teams support elected student leaders to make change, improve lives and fulfil potential; we help make it happen. Founded in 1897, LSE Students' Union is one of the oldest Students' Unions in the UK and is the representative and campaigning body for students at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Like other Students' Unions, it also funds and facilitates student activities on campus, including 250+ societies, 40+ sports clubs through the Athletics Union (AU), the Media Groups, and the Raising and Giving (RAG) charitable fundraising initiatives.
What’s the job?
LSE Students’ Union has one of the largest and best offerings of student clubs and societies (including RAG and the media groups) in London, which shapes and impacts on almost every student’s experience of LSE. The post-holder for this role will support the Student Leaders within these Societies in delivering their activities throughout the year, and provide impactful development opportunities for them in doing so. The person who takes on this role will also communicate effectively with, and offer exceptional customer service to the diverse range of students and staff who engage with the Students’ Union in this area, such that a positive and rewarding extra-curricular experience is championed for all.
Who are we looking for?
We’re looking for a professional individual who has a passion for student experience, activities and events – all within a fast-paced environment. It is important that you have good written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to provide excellent customer service, to ensure that our students/groups receive the best possible experience from our support. You must have a keen eye for detail and an organised approach to your work, as you’ll be handling sensitive data/information, and have various competing priorities at any one time. Applicants should also be positive, committed and approachable, with the ability to develop and maintain stakeholder relationships and a desire to work in an organisation that services a culturally diverse membership.
Why apply?
Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring and creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces. Plus…
Benefits and Perks
- 25 days of holiday per year
- Additional closure periods at Christmas and Easter
- Free LSE Students’ Union gym membership (including advice from dedicated professionals, and activities such as yoga, dance, and Pilates classes)
- Cycle to Work scheme enabling significant savings on bicycle purchase
- Access to LSE staff training courses
- Flexibility for work-life balance
- Interest-free travel loan
How do we recruit?
We want to ensure that all systems, policies and processes are free from bias or discrimination and are fair and accessible. Therefore, we ask that all candidates complete our application process by uploading the following three documents:
Part 1: CV – Outlining your skills and experience to date.
Part 2: Supporting Statement – A statement (no longer than 2 A4 pages) explaining your suitability for the role. This will be used to determine if you are shortlisted for an interview. Use the attached job description and person specification to help with this.
