About the Role
The Charity Administrator will be the first point of contact for the public, handling all email and telephone enquiries with compassion, clarity, and professionalism. Many of the individuals contacting us are bereaved, and although this is not a counselling role, it requires a calm, sensitive, and emotionally mature approach.
The post holder will also support the administration of training enquiries, maintain spreadsheets and systems, and ensure the smooth running of key communication processes.

About You
We are looking for someone with excellent organisational skills, a compassionate communication style, and the professionalism to handle sensitive or emotive enquiries. You will be someone who stays calm under pressure, manages detail well, and takes pride in helping things run smoothly behind the scenes.
Key Skills and Experience
Experience in an administrative, enquiries-based, or customer-facing role.
Strong written communication skills and a warm, steady phone manner.
Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail.
Confidence using spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets) and digital tools (Mailchimp, wordpress).
Experience handling sensitive information or emotional subject matter.
Ability to work independently and remotely.
Key Qualities
Compassionate, grounded, and emotionally mature.
Highly organised, reliable, and proactive.
Sensitive to the needs of bereaved individuals.

Committed to our ethos and values.
What difference will you make?
As the first point of contact for many people, you will play a crucial role in ensuring that those reaching out - often during very difficult times - feel welcomed, informed, and supported. Your organisation and attention to detail will help the charity deliver its services smoothly, respond to training interest effectively, and maintain a consistent presence for those who need us.
