Graduate programmes administrator jobs in birmingham, west midlands

AtaLoss is seeking an organised, proactive and mission-driven Executive Assistant for our Church Engagement department to support the continued growth of The Bereavement Journey® and our work equipping churches to become Bereavement Friendly. This full-time role provides essential administrative, digital, coordination, resourcing and delivery support, for webinars, events, resources, websites and church engagement activities, helping to expand our reach and impact across denominations in the UK.

Working closely with the Head of The Bereavement Journey® and Church Engagement, you will manage administrative processes, source and assess suitable Bereavement Friendly Church material and resources, update website content, support online programme delivery, coordinate communications, resource practitioners and monitor engagement data. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys varied work, can balance detail with initiative, communicates sensitively and effectively, and thrives in a purpose-driven Christian environment. As AtaLoss continues to grow nationally, this role offers the opportunity to contribute to meaningful change and strengthen bereavement support within churches and communities.

The Volunteer Coordinator we are looking for will enjoy this unique opportunity to grow and develop our current volunteer work into a thriving and sustainable programme. Our large Cadbury family home with five acres of beautiful grounds is a retreat centre for justice, reconciliation and peace and, as a result of this role, will become a fantastic space for volunteers to flourish while supporting the physical place, vision and work of the charity.

Our current volunteer work includes a small group of local individuals who meet for a monthly volunteer days to work on the grounds and maintenance, and who support our retreat and fundraising events. A relationship with BT has enabled us to begin to offer voluntary opportunities for their local staff and this area is ready to be developed. Volunteers of all faiths and none are invited, but not required, to participate in the rhythm of prayer at the house, and all have the opportunity to hear about the vision and work as part of their experience with us. To work with our bookings a development plan may look like a more regular midweek volunteer day, a regular Sunday volunteer day and a schedule of individual volunteering tasks to be undertaken when staff are onsite during the week.

This post is initially funded for one year. If the role proves fruitful The Greenhouse will seek grant funding to extend it; however, continuation beyond the first year cannot be guaranteed.

The Volunteer Coordinator is a new and developmental role within The Greenhouse at Barnes Close. It offers an engaging opportunity to join our staff team and build upon a small as-yet underdeveloped volunteer programme in a beautiful and rewarding place to work. They will also enjoy the oversight of a discerning and experienced Board of Trustees.
