Please note that successful candidate(s) will be asked to evidence their Right to Work in the UK post-job offer – we do not hold a sponsor license therefore we are unable to provide Visa sponsorship.

We are seeking a self-motivated Member Support and Administrative Assistant to play a key role in our friendly team. The successful candidate will liaise with colleagues across the organisation focused on membership, communications, marketing and delivery, and as a result get invaluable insight into these functions. Once established in post the successful candidate will also benefit from our nine-day fortnight working pattern (providing a long weekend twice a month).

Background Information

PSHE (personal, social, health and economic) education is the school curriculum subject that prepares pupils for life and work.  PSHE lessons cover some of the most pressing issues facing young people today including mental and physical health, relationships, staying safe online, economic wellbeing, careers and the importance of equality and diversity.

The PSHE Association is the national body for the subject. A charity and membership organisation, the Association supports a national network of over 50,000 teachers and schools with resources, training and guidance. We work nationally to raise PSHE standards for all children and raise its status on the curriculum. This includes working in partnership with a range of leading charities, government bodies, corporates and other partners. This is an exciting time for us and we are expanding our services to meet growing demand.

Role description

The applicant will be expected to take on a variety of responsibilities associated with supporting our national membership of PSHE education teachers and other professionals. This will include fielding phone and emailed member queries in a timely and friendly fashion and logging queries and activities on our membership database. The role will also include supporting the organisation and administration of the office, including processing memberships and payments, and maintaining and updating our database of contacts, supporting online training event bookings and logistics as well as supporting the team as required.

Please see below for a full Job Description and Person Specification

Terms of Reference

The post is offered on a full time basis, on a permanent contract with a six-month probationary period. The salary will be £28,500.

At the PSHE Association, we believe in a healthy work-life balance. That is why we offer a nine-day fortnight working pattern, giving our team every other Friday off (in other words a long weekend twice a month). We believe this gives employees more time to recharge and more time for what matters to them. This shorter working week benefit (equivalent to 32 hours per week on full pay) kicks in once employees have successfully completed three months of their probationary period, with a standard 35-hour working week in place up until that point. 

Our offices are based in central London, close to Russell Square, and this is where the role will be primarily based alongside some days of the week working from home.

 

How to apply

To apply please send a CV and covering letter using Charity Job by Monday 7th September at 9AM.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend a first round interview on Thursday 17th September on Zoom. There will also potentially be a second round interview held face to face on the week of Monday 21st September in our London office.

The cover letter is an important part of the process, and we will not consider any applications without a cover letter attached. This letter should provide an overview and personal reflections about why you meet the criteria and how your skills and experience are applicable. We therefore request that no AI tools are used in its composition.
