The appointed consultant will further define the methods and tools and may wish to consider elements of outcome harvesting if deemed appropriate.

This is a highly varied and involved consultancy position, and the above is not an exhaustive list of duties, required professional skills, project information, or expected scope of work. Please ensure you read the full Terms of Reference (ToR) for all details.  

Next Steps 

To apply for this exciting new opportunity, please complete an application via our recruitment portal. 

All applications must include:

ABOUT TRAIN

TRAIN is a youth work charity based in South Oxfordshire. We support young people aged 10 to 18 in Didcot, Wallingford and the surrounding areas, especially those who are under-served.

Young people in our communities are facing complex challenges. Mental health struggles, pressures at school, family instability and the impact of poverty can leave them feeling isolated or overlooked. Too often, they don’t have access to the right support at the right time. TRAIN exists to change that. We offer trusted relationships with adults outside positions of authority, safe spaces where young people can be themselves, and opportunities to grow in confidence, make positive choices and feel part of their community.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a key support role in a small, values-driven charity. While most people know TRAIN for its youth work, the smooth running of our organisation depends on good systems, clear admin and reliable behind-the-scenes support. That’s what this role is about.

As Charity Support Officer, you’ll take care of the day-to-day admin that keeps us organised, while also supporting projects and events that help TRAIN grow. Some responsibilities are regular — such as finance processing, HR and volunteer onboarding, responding to enquiries and keeping records accurate. Others will vary week to week, from preparing a funder report to liaising with contractors on a website update or helping coordinate the Didcot Youth Festival.

We’re looking for someone who is organised, adaptable and comfortable juggling different tasks. You won’t be expected to lead major projects or make big decisions, but you will be the first port of call for the small, steady tasks that make a big difference. If you enjoy variety, value attention to detail, and want to play a part in supporting life-changing youth work, this role could be a good fit.

This is a part-time role of 15 hours per week, which can be worked flexibly. The role is based in Didcot or Wallingford with hybrid working. We expect at least some office time each week, but for exceptional candidates, we will consider a fully remote arrangement.

SALARY AND BENEFITS

• Salary: £26,403–£28,142 FTE, pro-rated, depending on experience
• Contract: Permanent, part-time (15 hours per week)
• Annual leave: 25 days plus bank holidays (pro rata)
• Pension: 3% employer contribution
• Flexible working: We’re happy to consider various flexible working arrangements, including hybrid working, fully remote, term-time only and job shares. We can also be flexible about the exact number of hours and how they are worked during the week.
• Professional development: Tailored learning and training opportunities
• Wellbeing: Access to an employee assistance programme with mental health and wellbeing support
• Culture: Supportive, collaborative team with regular catch-ups and shared learning

JOB DESCRIPTION

Core (day-to-day focus)

• Communications and enquiries – be the first point of contact for general enquiries via email and social media, ensuring timely and professional responses.
• Project coordination and events – Coordinate various ad hoc projects (e.g. website refresh, new systems) and provide support for events such as the Didcot Youth Festival.
• HR and volunteer support – coordinate onboarding for staff and volunteers, including references, DBS checks and inductions.
• Office and building liaison – help keep the Didcot youth centre running smoothly by liaising with the landlord/service manager and handling facilities needs.
• Team support – provide admin support across the CEO, staff and trustees, including scheduling, minute-taking and document preparation.

Important (regular, but secondary to the above)

• Finance administration – support the CEO and our bookkeeper with tasks such as processing invoices, expenses, payments and payroll information.
