If so, we'd love to hear from you.

Research Project Administrator
Contract: 12-month Contract
Salary: £28k to £30k

We're looking for a proactive, highly organised Research Project Administrator to join our growing Research Team.

What you'll be doing

You'll:

• Coordinate internal and external meetings, including scheduling, agendas, papers and follow-up actions.

• Coordinate payments and communications with external contributors.
• Work closely with colleagues across Finance, Marketing and Research to ensure projects run smoothly.
• Build positive relationships with researchers, academics, people with lived experience and other external partners.
• Ensure information is handled confidentially and in line with GDPR.

About you

We're looking for someone who is naturally organised, enjoys supporting others and takes pride in delivering high-quality work.

You'll probably have around three to four years' experience in an administrative, research or project support role and be confident juggling multiple priorities while maintaining excellent attention to detail.

You'll also bring:

• Excellent organisational and time management skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication.
• Experience supporting meetings and coordinating projects.
• Confidence managing budgets, invoices and payments.
• Excellent Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel.
• Experience using collaboration platforms such as Teams, Zoom and Google Workspace
• The ability to manage confidential information with care and professionalism.
• A collaborative, flexible and positive approach.

It would be great if you also have

• Experience working within research, higher education or the charity sector.
• Experience supporting surveys or research projects.
• Experience organising conferences, workshops or stakeholder events.
• Experience using project management software
• Advanced Excel skills.
• A degree in health, social sciences, economics or another relevant subject (or equivalent experience).

• Hybrid and flexible working
• 5% employer pension contribution
