Witney, near Oxford

flexible working options

We’re looking for an experienced administrator to join our people team. 2020 promises to be another exciting year for us! Open Doors has an ever-growing friendly professional team and we’re kept busy as we support managers and employees alike. As our people administrator you’ll be at the hub of our team, managing the administration for recruitment, changes, benefits, learning and development, induction and the rest!

You’ll be adept at switching between tasks and relish the challenge of improving our processes to provide a robust and effective service for the organisation. You’ll have strong IT skills and be able to quickly master our HR database, using it to maximum effect. As you’ll be constantly liaising with people, you’ll have good communication skills, and resilience and emotional intelligence will be a big part of who you are.

There will be the opportunity for you to be working with a wide variety of HR/people situations as this is a ‘generalist’ administration role. You’ll be keen to contribute to new ideas whilst always ensuring that the basics of data protection, accuracy, confidentiality and quality of service are maintained.

As a Christian*, you’ll be excited by the prospect of using your previous HR/people experience to work for an organisation that supports Christians who are persecuted for their faith, and our whole team meetings and daily devotion times will inspire you as you see how Open Doors does its work. There is also the opportunity for you to visit the field, one of the many benefits we offer.

If you have fantastic admin skills, relevant experience, and like the sound of Open Doors, we would love to receive your application!

Introduction

Christian Aid is a faith-based organisation, set up by British and Irish churches in the aftermath of the Second World War so that they “could respond to Christ's command to care for all in need”. Our commitment is to eradicate extreme poverty, dismantle its root causes and enable the voice and agency of the poor and marginalised to be fully realised.

This is a pivotal moment to join Christian Aid at a challenging time in the world where suffering and increasing inequality have become the norm. We have a new global strategy “Standing Together” which is built around our analytical framework: poverty, power and prophetic voice underpinned by operational excellence in all we do. When people come together with shared energy and inspiration, as they do at Christian Aid, they can accomplish amazing things. If you share our mission and vision and would like to join us, then please get in touch. Thank you for your interest in Christian Aid.

About Christian Aid

We believe that the world can and must be transformed so that everyone can experience life in all its fullness, free from poverty and injustice.

For over 70 years, Christian Aid has successfully provided support to meet the social, economic and humanitarian needs of the most vulnerable and marginalised. We have always understood that we must work in partnership and stand together with local actors to provide practical, long-term support. We believe this is the way to achieve sustainable development and help affected communities to be free from want and fear.

We work in 37 countries, with around 500 local, national and international partners. Our involvement in 150 humanitarian projects in 26 countries enabled us to reach over one million people in 2017/18. We spent over £95 million on our charitable activities in the same time period.

Our mission in today's world: Our analysis of the world points clearly to a global economic system that is hardwired to increase inequality and injustice. A rise in social and political intolerance is increasing gender inequality and reducing people's agency—their power over their own lives. Climate change chaos and ongoing conflicts cause further vulnerabilities.

There is an intergovernmental global consensus to 'leave noone behind'. But without a major change in practice, political will and resource commitment, at least 800 million people will still be living in extreme poverty by 2030, half of them in low-income and fragile countries.

We remain convinced that poverty is political. It is not an accident. It is caused by human structures and systems. We understand that to achieve lasting solutions, we must address three factors together: poverty, power, and people's ability to speak against and remove injustices. We are therefore committed to eradicating extreme poverty, dismantling its root causes across the world, and enabling the voice and agency of the poor and marginalised to be fully realised. Together with our incredible network of supporters, we will respond with unwavering boldness and courage.

About the role: The Transition Executive role is designed to provide excellent support to the FSE Director and Senior Management Team, as well as co-ordinate and support a critical change process for the department.

This role will build important partnerships, communicating with a range of internal and external stakeholders. Be expected to steward our resources, ensuring best value for money and efficiency. And be responsible for delivering results, as well as striving for continual improvement in our processes.

This is the perfect opportunity for someone looking to make a difference during an exciting time of change within Christian Aid and play a key role in the smooth and efficient management of a busy and forward-looking department.

About you: You are an excellent communicator with outstanding organisational, planning and time-management skills, able to handle a wide and varied workload. Your experience in delivering similar busy and varied roles, ideally in the Charity/Not for Profit sector, stands you in good stead for this position. You are comfortable taking the initiative and being proactive in identifying and delivering support needs. You relish solving problems and designing new solutions. You have a very high level of accuracy and attention to detail, able to consider different aspects and impacts of decisions made. You are focussed on meeting deadlines, whilst being able to manage expectations of colleagues. Your ability to engage and build excellent relationships with a range of internal and external stakeholders will be key to your success. You will enjoy taking a flexible approach to your work and be comfortable operating in a busy and dynamic environment.

This role requires applicants to have the right to work in the country where this position is based. We value diversity and aspire to reflect this in its workforce.

We welcome applications from people from all sections of the community, irrespective of race, colour, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief.

You can expect a wide range of rewards and benefits, including a generous holiday allowance, a season ticket loan, and flexibility that will ensure you enjoy a good work/life balance.

Competency questions

As part of your application you will be asked to demonstrate your suitability by giving answers to the following questions:

Tell us about a time you have had to organise/co-ordinate a complex process or project, and successfully delivered outputs on time

Give us an example of a time you have delivered support/administrative tasks to an agreed high standard

The Think Ahead programme is a new route into social work, for graduates and career-changers remarkable enough to make a real difference to people with mental health problems.

At Think Ahead, we want to see a society where everyone with mental health problems can flourish. That won’t happen unless people can improve their social circumstances – because life issues like relationships, living arrangements, and employment have profound effects on mental wellbeing.

On Think Ahead’s paid two-year programme, you will:

• Take on a challenging and varied role, with responsibility from day one.
• Be paid to spend two years training on-the-job and working in a community mental health team, alongside clinical professionals.
• Make a significant difference to the lives of people with mental illness.
• Gain two qualifications, qualifying as a social worker and gaining a master’s degree.
• Start a fast-track career with leadership training and transferable skills.

Think Ahead is a highly selective programme. While you need no prior experience of social work to apply, our criteria states that you must:

• Hold or achieve at least a 2:1 degree or equivalent in a subject other than social work
• Show a passion for improving the lives of people with mental illness.
• Demonstrate key attributes including resilience, empathy, and communication skills.

About Us

The Cure Parkinson’s Trust (CPT) is the only organisation in the UK solely dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s. We work with funders and institutional partners around the world to initiate and fund fundamental research and ground-breaking clinical trials.

Parkinson’s is a debilitating neurological condition affecting over 145,000 people in the UK and 10 million people worldwide. It is characterised by tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement and many other symptoms.  There is no cure.  The treatment of Parkinson’s has not changed significantly in over 50 years - i.e. the treatment of symptoms only - and some of the side effects of existing symptomatic treatments are as troubling as the condition itself.

CPT believes that a cure is within reach.  Numerous recent scientific advances in the field lead us to the view that it is funding, not science, which is holding up effective treatments that slow, stop or reverse the condition.  Our ground-breaking Linked Clinical Trials (LCT) program is a high-profile example (re-purposing - against Parkinson’s - existing treatments used for other conditions, based on sound biochemical evidence): many trials are underway, but there are many more to fund.
