Our vision is for a world in which every mitochondrial disease patient has a voice and access to treatment, support to improve their life and, ultimately, a cure.

Community fundraising is at the heart of Lily's success. Every year, hundreds of families, friends and local communities come together to raise funds in support of loved ones affected by mitochondrial disease. Alongside this, we're beginning to grow our Individual Giving, Regular Giving and Legacy fundraising programmes, helping more people support Lily in ways that suit them.

Job Title: Administrator & Bookkeeper

Location: Home-based with travel and occasional overnight stays

Hours: 35 Hours per week (Typically Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm)

About Us:
Established in 1985, the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) is the leading representative charity for dog and cat rescue and rehoming organisations across the UK, Ireland, Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands. ADCH promotes the safeguarding of welfare standards for dogs and cats needing new homes and supports those working and volunteering in the sector

At the heart of ADCH is a strong collaborative ethos. With over 160 member organisations, all of which are registered charities, we unite organisations of all sizes – large and small; embracing over 50,000 staff and volunteers, all dedicated to working together for Dogs and Cats. A key part of this ethos is the peer network ADCH nurtures, where members connect, exchange ideas, share knowledge and resources, and offer mutual support. Through this network, organisations are able to address common challenges, collaborate on solutions, and strengthen their collective impact on animal welfare.

Who We Are Looking For:

We are looking for an organised and proactive Administrator & Bookkeeper to join our small, collaborative team. This is a varied role at the heart of the organisation, providing pragmatic administrative support across membership services, communications, finance, governance and events.

You'll be confident managing multiple priorities, maintaining accurate records and using a range of digital systems. From supporting our members and maintaining our CRM to producing communications, updating website content and assisting with day-to-day bookkeeping, you'll play an important role in helping ADCH deliver an efficient and professional service.

As part of a small team, you'll need to be adaptable, self-motivated and happy to take ownership of your work while supporting colleagues across a wide range of activities. You'll be equally comfortable working independently from home and collaborating with the team, with travel across the UK and occasional overnight stays required.

Person Specification

• Essential
• Experience providing administrative support within a busy team.
• Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office, Microsoft Teams, Canva and database systems.
• Experience of bookkeeping and using accounting software (e.g. QuickBooks, Xero, Sage or similar).
•  Experience of creating social media content for an organisation.
• Experience of updating website content using systems such as WordPress or Similar.
• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to prioritise workload, work independently and use initiative.
• Excellent communication, customer service and interpersonal skills.

Desirable

It would also be great (but not essential) if you had:

• Experience of working in the charity sector and/or a membership organisation.
• Experience supporting or coordinating events
• Experience of supporting committees or governance meetings.
• Experience of working remotely.

How to apply

If you're an organised administrator with excellent attention to detail, strong IT skills and a positive, flexible approach, we'd love to hear from you.  This is a 12-month fixed-term position, with the potential for extension subject to funding.

Closing Date: Sunday, 16th August 2026
