Administrator 

Job Title: Administrator 

Salary: £15,000 per annum based on 22.5 hours per week (£25,000 per annum full-time equivalent, pro rata) 

Hours: Part-time (22.5 hours per week). We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements. 

Location: Home-based 

Reports to: Allocated line manager from the Executive Directors 

About BADth 

The British Association of Dramatherapists (BADth) is the professional organisation for dramatherapists in the United Kingdom. We are dedicated to developing, promoting, and representing the field of dramatherapy both nationally and internationally. Our work supports the highest standards of professional practice, education, and advocacy within the arts therapies sector. 

Our Mission 

We aim to develop, promote, and represent dramatherapy in all contexts, working collaboratively with other healthcare professions and providing the best possible services to our members. 

Our Objectives 

  • To promote the advancement of dramatherapy as a profession 

  • To be the representational body for dramatherapists in the UK 

  • To promote, maintain, improve and advance the education of the public on the benefits of dramatherapy 

  • To be an advocate for the establishment and maintenance of fair pay and conditions of service for dramatherapists 

  • To forge links internationally 

Dramatherapy is a form of psychological therapy that uses drama and theatre processes to support people in exploring emotions, developing insight, and promoting personal growth. It is a creative, evidence-based approach used in a wide range of clinical, educational, and community settings. 

Purpose of the Post: 

This role provides the administrative foundation of the organisation, ensuring its day-to-day operations run smoothly, efficiently and reliably. The Administrator is the central point through which systems, information and processes are held and maintained. 

The postholder is responsible for coordinating membership administration and core systems. They ensure accurate record-keeping, support financial and governance processes, and coordinate the practical delivery of organisational activity. 

Through consistent, attentive administration, this role enables the wider organisation to function effectively. It supports a coherent, responsive service that members can trust and rely on, making an important contribution to the stability, professionalism and effective operation of the Association and, in turn, the wider field of dramatherapy. 

Working Hours & Location 

This is a part-time role (22.5 hours per week) and is home-based.

The postholder will have flexibility in how their contracted hours are worked across the week, subject to the operational needs of the Association. At least 15 hours will need to be worked during normal business hours to attend team meetings, respond to member enquiries, and fulfil key organisational responsibilities. Working arrangements will be agreed with the line manager and reviewed as required in supervision. 

The postholder will also be required to attend the Directors' Meeting, which takes place once a month, either on a Saturday morning or on a weekday evening. Attendance at these meetings forms part of the contracted hours for this role. 

There may also be occasional requirements to attend other meetings or events, such as the annual conference or team away days, which may fall outside the postholder's usual working pattern. Where additional hours are worked to attend such events, time off in lieu (TOIL) will be offered within the following two weeks. 

Job Description: 

Membership Administration & Data Management 

  • Database Management: Maintain organisational records and information, ensuring they are accurate, up to date and complete to the best of the Association's knowledge and strictly comply with UK GDPR and data protection regulations. 

  • Member Pipeline: Process new member applications, renewals, category switches and lapses smoothly. 

  • Onboarding: Support new member onboarding by issuing welcome packs and ensuring seamless access to systems and benefits. 

  • Offboarding: Where members do not renew, update the database, send a feedback form, and track reasons for departure. 

  • Reporting: Maintain systems for tracking membership data and produce regular statistical reports for management. 

  • Policy: Support the implementation and development of organisational policies and procedures in collaboration with directors and committees. 

Financial 

  • Financial Tracking: Work with the bookkeeper to ensure financial records on Xero are complete. 

  • Invoicing: Work with the bookkeeper in to set up and release payments once approved by the company director. Send invoices and invoice reminders where membership fees have not been correctly paid. 

  • Staff Annual Leave Tracking: Manage and track staff annual leave records. 

Member Enquiries & Customer Service 

  • Inbox Management: Act as the first point of contact for the organisation, managing the central inbox and handling routine membership queries with clear, timely responses. 

  • Signposting: Direct complex or specific enquiries to the relevant resources, directors or volunteer committees. 

  • Feedback Collection: Gather and analyse member feedback (both impromptu and via structured surveys) to help improve services and satisfaction. 

Core Communications & Digital Channels 

  • Website & Infrastructure Maintenance: Maintain and update website content via the admin backend (updating committee member profiles, helping members with login issues, and updating job listings). Ensure core plugins and page layouts are regularly updated to their latest versions. Troubleshoot and fix any automated background tasks or form workflows that are not functioning as expected, and proactively source appropriate external IT or web developer expertise when a complex technical fix is required. 

  • Social Media: Manage member applications to the members-only Facebook group, including tracking usernames to remove lapsed members. 

  • Newsletters & Email: Add any administrative or membership-related updates to the monthly newsletter and proofread final copy before sending. 

  • Cyber Security Incident Response: Act as an initial administrative responder if a cyber security incident is suspected, following the organisation’s cyber incident response playbook. This includes knowing how to force log out affected users, revoke active sessions where possible, reset passwords, reset or rotate other access credentials where required, preserve relevant records, and escalate promptly to the allocated line manager and board of directors. Credentials may include passwords, security codes, access tokens, API keys, recovery codes, or other information that proves a person or system is authorised to access an account. 

Committee & Volunteer Support 

  • Committee Administration Support: Provide administrative support to volunteer committees, including maintaining committee webpages, distributing communications, adding meetings to committees’ Teams calendars where requested, updating records, and supporting agreed administrative processes. 

  • Volunteer Admin: Assist with the administrative onboarding and retention processes for volunteers, ensuring they have the guidance and resources needed. 

  • Internal Communication: Facilitate effective and GDPR-compliant information sharing between different branches of the professional body. 

  • Annual Governance Minute-Taking: Assist with taking minutes once a year, specifically for the organisation’s General Meeting (AGM/GM). 

  • Annual Report Formatting: Support the preparation of the organisation’s annual report by formatting supplied content into a clear, consistent and accessible document, ensuring headings, images, tables, captions, branding, layout and proofreading corrections are applied accurately before review and publication. 

  • Ad Hoc Executive Support: Assist with ad hoc requests from the Association Chair and Vice-Chair. 

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) 

The success of the administrator role will be measured against the following KPIs: 

  • Data Integrity & Compliance: The membership database and CRM are consistently reliable, audit-ready, and compliant with UK GDPR regulations, with syncing errors or data gaps proactively caught and resolved during routine maintenance. 

  • Financial Health & Transactional Accuracy: Invoices, renewal notices, and approved payments are processed accurately and strictly on schedule to maintain healthy organizational cash flow. Financial records in Xero and internal staff leave logs are kept consistently up to date, ensuring the bookkeeper and directors have reliable financial data. 

  • Service Excellence & Responsiveness: Members, committees and external enquirers experience a seamless, professional, and timely customer service journey, characterized by steady frequent inbox management and the elimination of communication backlogs. 

  • Operational Pipeline Efficiency Administrative workflows—specifically member onboarding, offboarding feedback loops, and volunteer tracking—move through the pipeline steadily and predictably without administrative delays. 

  • Digital Channel Stability & Readiness The organization’s digital assets (website content, plugins, and communication channels) remain secure, functional, and up to date, with technical issues or security concerns actioned or escalated promptly to minimize operational downtime. 

  • Governance & Documentation Quality The Board and volunteer committees receive accurate, well-formatted, and brand-consistent documentation (including minutes, reports, and marketing collateral) delivered on schedule to support organizational decision-making.
