About Us

UKATA is the leading professional body in the UK for those learning and practicing Transactional Analysis (TA). Founded in 1974, UKATA has grown into a vibrant community of over 1100 members, from curious learners to advanced practitioners, all dedicated to the growth of TA theory and practice. UKATA is an organisational member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the European Association of Transactional Analysis (EATA).

The Opportunity

This is a key operational role at the heart of UKATA. You’ll combine day-to-day operational coordination with responsibility for agreed projects and organisational improvements. You’ll also support members, governance, communications and events, working closely with the Managing Director, contractors and volunteers to help deliver an excellent experience for our members.

No two days are the same. One day you might be coordinating an online event, updating our website or producing reports from our membership management system to support decision-making. The next you could be designing an internal process, supporting our National Conference or leading a new organisational project.

What You'll Do

• Play a central role in the smooth day-to-day running of UKATA and helping improve how we work
• Lead key projects to improve systems, processes and the member experience
• Support members, governance and UKCP registration processes
• Maintain and develop our CRM, website and digital systems
• Help deliver communications, events and member engagement
• Work closely with trustees, volunteers and contractors to support the organisation
• Build relationships with members, registered training providers and other stakeholders

About You

We’re looking for an organised, proactive and collaborative professional to join our small team – someone who:

• enjoys bringing structure to a busy and varied workload
• is proactive and confident using their initiative
• likes turning ideas into practical action
• builds positive working relationships with a wide range of people
• communicates clearly and professionally
• enjoys balancing day-to-day administration with longer-term projects and improvements.

What We Offer

This role offers the chance to work with a respected organisation while making a genuine difference to our members and the wider TA community. You'll have:

• Flexible, remote working arrangements, with regular UK travel
• A varied role with genuine ownership and opportunity to shape how we work
• A supportive, collaborative team, working closely with members and volunteers across the UK
• Ongoing learning and professional development
• Employer sick pay scheme
• Employer pension contribution
• Reasonable travel and accommodation expenses for work-related travel.
• 33 days annual leave per annum (FTE), including bank holidays

Location and Working Hours

This is a home-based role with flexible remote working arrangements. Regular travel across the UK is required to support conferences, trustee and committee meetings, planning days, and other organisational activities. On average, this is expected to be around once a month, although the level of travel will go up and down, with some periods busier than others. Reasonable travel and accommodation expenses will be reimbursed in line with UKATA policies.

We are looking for someone who can work 30 hours across at least four days a week, primarily during normal weekday office hours. Some flexibility will be required to attend occasional evening meetings and weekend events.

Salary

The full-time equivalent salary for this role is £40,000. The pro rata salary is £32,000. 

This is an exciting opportunity for a new leader to guide the organisation through its next phase of development, building from a position of strength. The organisation is in the first year of a clear and ambitious three-year strategy, with a strong core team of staff and a healthy financial position.

The outgoing Executive Director was previously also the organisation’s Advocacy Director, and continued to deliver both functions within one role. For this reason the Board of Trustees is advertising the position in two configurations. Applicants are welcome to express an interest in either:

• Option A — Part-time Executive Director. A 0.6 FTE part-time post which is a leadership and management role only, and does not include delivering the advocacy activities of the organisation. These will be undertaken by a separate part-time Advocacy Director, who carries the advocacy responsibilities covered by the associated Advocacy Director job description.

• Option B — Full-time Executive Director. A single full-time post in which the successful candidate takes on both the part-time Executive Director role and the responsibilities of the part-time Advocacy Director role being advertised concurrently. The successful candidate must meet the person specification requirements of BOTH roles.
