Office manager jobs in central london, greater london

St Mary's Church is a vibrant, charismatic and inclusive church located in Marylebone, W1. As a Co-ordinator, you will play an important role in the life of the church.

In this position, you will be responsible for providing administrative support and practical assistance to our team, as well as taking an organisational lead on some of our courses and events. This is a role that offers a mix of behind-the-scenes organisation and front-end operations, making it an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced and varied environment. As a team player who can also work effectively on your own, you will help ensure the smooth running of our church activities and events, and contribute to our goal of building a welcoming and supportive community that aims to follow where God may be calling us in all that we do. 

Who are we?

London Gypsies and Travellers (LGT) is an organisation that challenges social exclusion and discrimination, working for change in partnership with Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller people. We work with families across London Boroughs, including those living on council caravan sites, roadside camps, in bricks and mortar housing, and those experiencing homelessness.

Our Bright Futures programme offers mentoring and skills support to young Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller people aged 15–25 years. Through tailored one-to-one work, group activities and practical help, we support young people to build confidence, motivation and pride in their identity, while developing the tools they need to succeed in wider society.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for a motivated and organised Youth Project Worker to support the delivery of Bright Futures. This is a varied role that combines project coordination, outreach support, administration, and direct engagement with young people.

You’ll help keep the programme running smoothly behind the scenes while also building trusted relationships with partner services and young people and families, supporting communications, and contributing to learning and reflection.

What will the role involve?

As a Youth Project Worker, you will:

• Support the day-to-day administration of the mentoring and employability programme, including record-keeping and report preparation
• Help coordinate communications activities such as creating new material, WhatsApp updates, and social media
• Maintain and grow referral networks with employers, training providers, and community organisations
• Engage directly with young people and their families to raise awareness and encourage participation
• Hold a light caseload of mentees and support mentoring activities as needed
• Contribute to programme monitoring, evaluation, and learning

What difference will you make?

Young Gypsies, Roma, and Travellers face significant barriers to education, employment, and inclusion, often made worse by discrimination and low expectations. The Bright Futures programme is designed to counter this by helping young people unlock their potential, strengthen their voice, and take pride in who they are.

Your role will help ensure the programme is accessible, responsive, and grounded in the real experiences and aspirations of young people. You’ll play a key part in ensuring our support reaches those who need it most – and that it makes a lasting difference.

What can we offer you?

• A welcoming and collaborative team environment
• Structured induction and ongoing training suited to the role
• Mentoring and support from the programme lead
• Opportunities to develop experience in project delivery, youth work, and community engagement
• Involvement in a unique programme grounded in trust, pride, and culturally sensitive practice
• Reimbursement of reasonable expenses for work related activities

Contract Terms

This is an initial 6-month contract, with continuation dependent on funding and satisfactory performance.

We have strong funding prospects and are currently awaiting decisions on multi-year funding applications, expected within the next 2–3 months. We are committed to continued delivery of Bright Futures and want to bring someone into the team who is motivated to grow with the programme.

Subject to a positive funding outcome and strong performance, we would aim to extend the contract at the earliest opportunity.

Who should apply?

We’re keen to hear from people with a wide range of backgrounds: youth work, community development, education, or admin, or someone with lived experience and a strong commitment to supporting Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller young people.

You’ll need to bring solid administration and digital skills, to help coordinate and deliver the programme effectively.

We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems.

Staff joining Sponsor Refugees are joining a thriving team that works collaboratively with the wider Migrants and Refugees theme and with a range of other Citizens UK teams.

Living Wage Foundation 

The Living Wage is an independent movement of businesses, organisations and people who believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. The Living Wage campaign was launched by London Citizens in 2001 and aims to ensure low paid workers have enough money to get by and enough time for community and family life. 

The Living Wage is an hourly rate calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK that employers choose to pay on a voluntary basis. The Living Wage Foundation recognises and celebrates employers that pay the real Living Wage through an accreditation programme which awards the Living Wage Employer Mark. 

The independently-calculated rates are announced during Living Wage Week each November when we celebrate our growing network of Living Wage employers. There are now more than 15,000 accredited Living Wage employers across the UK which has secured pay rises for over 475,000 employees. 

The Living Wage Foundation is part of Citizens UK – a community organising charity which works with a broad base of institutions across the political spectrum. At the Living Wage Foundation, we take a deliberately broad-based approach and accredit all organisations who pay the real Living Wage to their directly and indirectly employed staff and are committed to tackling in work poverty. As a team we work across a range of industries and sectors to achieve this mission. We seek pragmatic coalitions in order to progress specific campaigns, and partnership around a particular issue such as Living Wage, does not imply an endorsement of broader purpose and policies.
