Temporary Membership Coordinator

£16.48 per hour | Fully remote | 3–5 days per week | Temporary

Harris Hill is delighted to be working with a growing charity to recruit a Temporary Membership Coordinator.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced administrator to join a small, friendly team and provide essential support across membership administration and day-to-day operations.

The organisation supports a community of senior professionals and is looking for someone highly organised, confident and able to quickly pick up established processes and take ownership of their workload.

The role

You’ll play a key part in supporting the membership journey, from initial enquiries through to onboarding and ongoing administration.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Managing new membership enquiries and responding to members in a professional and timely way
• Coordinating introductory meetings, including diary management, invitations and follow-ups
• Reviewing prospective member profiles and matching individuals to the most appropriate membership groups based on factors such as professional background and location
• Supporting new member onboarding and ensuring all relevant actions are completed
• Maintaining accurate CRM and membership records
• Managing shared inboxes and keeping track of outstanding enquiries and actions
• Supporting membership subscriptions, renewals, payments, cancellations and invoicing
• Checking and reconciling information across different systems
• Preparing and sending member communications using agreed templates
• Maintaining trackers and providing clear updates on completed and outstanding work
• Providing wider administrative and operational support to the team as required

About you

We’re looking for an experienced administrator who is organised, accurate and comfortable working independently.

You’ll need:

• Strong administration, coordination and diary management experience
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage several processes at once
• Confidence using CRM, database or customer/member management systems
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Outlook and Excel
• Clear and professional written communication skills
• Good judgement and the confidence to make straightforward decisions within established processes
• The ability to pick up new systems and ways of working quickly

Previous experience within a membership organisation would be useful but isn’t essential. Experience supporting subscriptions, payments or renewals would be particularly beneficial, as would familiarity with systems such as Stripe, GoCardless, Xero or WordPress.

The most important thing is that you’re a capable, reliable administrator who can understand a process quickly, use common sense to resolve routine queries and know when something needs to be escalated.

This is a fully remote temporary role, available for 3–5 days per week, with some flexibility depending on the successful candidate. A start date of 12th October would be preferred to allow for a thorough handover.

If you’re an experienced administrator looking for a varied, people-focused temporary role where you can quickly become a valued part of a small team, we’d love to hear from you.

Recovery is about more than addressing immediate needs. It is also about having somewhere to belong, opportunities to build confidence and skills, meaningful connections with other people, and the chance to take part in the community around you. As our Recovery and Opportunities Co-ordinator, you’ll help make those opportunities a reality for people experiencing homelessness and multiple disadvantage in our St John's Mansions service. 

You’ll develop and coordinate our Recovery and Opportunities programme, creating activities and opportunities that reflect what clients actually want from their services and communities. You’ll work alongside clients, colleagues, volunteers and peer supporters to co-produce activities, build participation and make sure people are supported to get involved in ways that feel meaningful to them.

• You can develop, coordinate and facilitate engaging groups, activities or programmes, and understand how to encourage meaningful participation from different people.
• You’re confident building relationships with community organisations, residents, colleagues and external partners, and can turn those relationships into practical opportunities for clients.

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

Our campaigns span four interconnected areas: oceans, climate, forests and wetlands, and the training, protection, and empowerment of environmental defenders and investigative journalists. From illegal fishing and plastic pollution to deforestation, land grabs, and climate breakdown, we confront some of the most complex and urgent crises of our time - always with a focus on accountability, equity, and durable solutions.
