You'll work closely with our Managing Director, Board of Trustees, project teams and volunteers, helping to keep the charity running smoothly while supporting fundraising, governance, operations, communications and events.

One day you could be preparing Board papers, the next coordinating our annual Celebrity Shoe Auction, supporting international projects or helping share the incredible stories that inspire our supporters.

Our team includes working parents and professionals from a variety of backgrounds, and we're committed to creating a flexible and supportive working environment where people can thrive.

If you're looking for a role where organisation meets purpose, and where every day contributes to lasting change, we'd love to hear from you.

3. What excites you most about the opportunity?

Together, every small step creates lasting change.
