About BASIC

BASIC is an independent, non-profit think tank working to safeguard humanity and Earth’s ecosystem from nuclear risks and interconnected security threats, for generations to come. Our vision is for a global security consensus founded on multilateralism, the recognition of the indivisibility of security, an adherence to Earth’s planetary boundaries, and the consideration of future generations

For nearly 40 years, we have developed a global reputation for groundbreaking dialogue and incisive thought leadership to strengthen international peace and security. We comprise an intellectually and culturally diverse team of 20 expert-practitioners with deep and wide-ranging institutional experience, headquartered in London with additional presences in Berlin and Rome. We are independent, receive no core funding from any state, and our project work is funded transparently.

BASIC's approach to resolving contemporary nuclear dynamics is centred on dialogue as both a practice and a philosophy. We interpret dialogue broadly, recognising that meaningful engagement takes many forms: from facilitating direct strategic conversations between adversaries grounded in conflict resolution principles, to developing networks and diplomatic initiatives that build consensus around shared objectives, to shaping the intellectual foundations of policy discourse through rigorous research and thought leadership.

BASIC is a fast-paced and rewarding environment in which to work, with an exceptionally-positive and inclusive team culture. We have experienced rapid growth over the past decade, and we are well-suited to people who are motivated by our mission, able to work at a sustained pace, keen to develop professionally, and enjoy being part of a collaborative team working on consequential issues.

What We Offer

Competitive salary with room for growth
30 days annual leave (pro rata), plus bank holidays and closure days over the December festive period
Employer pension contributions of 5% (above the national minimum)

Opportunities for professional growth and development

Job description

EFAM

For more than twenty years, Education For All Morocco has worked to ensure that girls from Morocco’s most disadvantaged rural communities can access — and complete — their education. What began as a small initiative providing safe boarding for girls in the High Atlas has evolved into a nationwide organisation creating long-term pathways from secondary school to university and employment.

Today, EFA Morocco operates a growing network of boarding houses, specialist education centres, and university scholarship programmes, supporting girls with diverse needs — including those with disabilities — to learn, thrive, and shape their own futures. Through strategic partnerships, community engagement, and a holistic support model, EFA Morocco is driving systemic change so that every girl, no matter where she is born, has the opportunity to learn, lead, and transform her life and community.

The Role

The Finance & Operations Coordinator is a central position in a small, purpose-driven team. The role provides direct support to the Managing Director and works closely with the Finance Committee to ensure that the charity’s financial and operational systems are well managed, compliant and effective.

This is a broad and hands-on role that involves managing day-to-day UK operations, supporting financial oversight, ensuring smooth coordination with our in-country partners, and keeping our administrative framework in excellent order.

You will be responsible for maintaining clear systems, meeting key reporting deadlines, and ensuring that the organisation runs efficiently behind the scenes. The role suits someone who is proactive, reliable, and comfortable managing a wide variety of tasks with independence and initiative.

Ensure that annual accounts and financial reports are submitted in line with Charity Commission requirements.

Operations and Administration

Oversee and improve shared filing systems (Teams/SharePoint), ensuring that all administrative and financial records are accurate, up to date and easy to access.
Manage the main email inbox, responding to or redirecting correspondence promptly and professionally.
Coordinate logistics for meetings, events, and annual project visits in Morocco.
Support the Managing Director with scheduling, documentation, and general administrative follow-up.
Monitor compliance tasks, ensuring that all Charity Commission and internal governance requirements are up to date and properly documented.

Donor and Partner Relations

Act as a first point of contact for donors, supporter schools, hotels and individuals.
Process and acknowledge donations, issue receipts and maintain accurate donor records.
Proactively follow up with existing and potential supporters, helping to build and maintain relationships.
Liaise with Moroccan partners to ensure that project and financial reporting are on track and shared on time.

Governance and Oversight

Support the Finance Committee and Managing Director with preparation for trustee and committee meetings, including gathering reports and ensuring actions are followed up.
Assist with external audits and reviews, coordinating with UK auditors and Moroccan partners as needed.
Maintain oversight of risk management, safeguarding and health and safety documentation, ensuring relevant information is filed and accessible.

Person Specification

Essential

Experience with Xero or similar accounting software, and confidence handling day-to-day bookkeeping.
Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
Proficient in Microsoft Office (especially Excel and Word) and comfortable using Teams/SharePoint.
