This person will be highly organised and will have a great eye for detail whilst being naturally helpful by nature and willing to get involved. There is plenty of room for development, so someone who is keen to learn and develop new skills in addition to bringing their own creativity and enthusiasm to the role will be important.
Strong IT skills, systematic and methodical, this person will be a natural problem solver and good at multi-tasking and meeting deadlines. They will also be a good communicator both verbally and in writing with the ability to see the bigger picture. Having a strong vision on how crucial effective administrative support work is to ensuring an organisation meets its charitable objectives and provides an outstanding service to its grantees and stakeholders.

This interesting role represents a fantastic opportunity for someone with the right skills and experience to learn and develop within one of the leading funders in the UK.
