Administrative Assistant needed for a 6-month remote contract to help the Youth Endowment Fund to tackle knife crime. 

Reports to: Head of Operations
Salary: £25,000
Location: Homeworking
Contract: 6 Months

About the Youth Endowment Fund

The Youth Endowment Fund is a bold new attempt to put early intervention at the heart of efforts to tackle youth offending.

In recent years violent crime has risen significantly. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. We have also seen large increases in violent crime involving children and young people. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.

The Youth Endowment Fund is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. Founded by youth charity Impetus and its partners the Early Intervention Foundation and the Social Investment Business, we exist to prevent children and young people from getting caught up in violent crime. We do this by finding the very best ways to prevent youth violence, funding great initiatives and working to scale them up and spread great ideas.

Making this happen is a massive challenge and right now we need administration support to move us to the next stage.

Key responsibilities

Most fundamentally, your job is to keep the operational wheels turning in support of our Operations Team.

To achieve this, you will:

• Act as a point of contact for the YEF team’s administration queries
• Schedule events including induction sessions and one-off meetings, training sessions and workshops
• Support project management administration
• Meeting coordination including minuting and guest management
• Coordinate IT processes and liaising with external IT providers and users
• Manage some of our shared user accounts like Zoom and Survey Monkey
• Room booking etc. when we’re able to meet again in person
• Helping with application management, scheduling and records management for our recruitment rounds
• Ensuring that we’re across HR compliance on things like probationary periods, safeguarding, ensuring that our team has the policies they need
• Training coordination

About you

You are this sort of person:

• You don't want your days to pass without making a difference. You want to play a significant part in reducing the level of youth violence.
• You roll your sleeves up and get stuck in. You’re interested in seeing a team succeed and don’t hesitate to pitch in when things need to get done.
• You obsess over the small details. You take great satisfaction in getting every small detail correct. Accuracy and getting things right are important to you.
• You are excited about the variety and flexibility of the role. You can roll with the punches and work in a fast paced environment with ease and grace.
• You are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. You believe and act in a way that celebrates and encourages a range of experiences, views and values.
• You have the ability to meet individuals where they are. You can adapt the way you support a team member and don’t ever take a ‘one size fits all’ approach
• You learn fast but remain humble. You are very quick at getting your head around things. You like learning. You care more that good things happen than who gets the credit. You are a great and supportive team player.

While it is not a criterion, we are especially interested to hear from applicants who have lived experience of youth violence.

It is also important to us that the people we hire do not discriminate. We believe in being inclusive and giving everyone an equal chance to succeed. Applications are welcome from all regardless of age, sex, gender identity, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, race, sexual orientation, transgender status or social economic background.
