- Pulling together reports that keep us on track.
- And you’ll get to help run our online events, bringing our community together.

We don’t expect you to tick every single box, but here’s what would make you shine:
- A natural communicator who enjoys connecting with people from all walks of life.
- Customer service experience - you’re proactive, solutions‑focused and not easily flustered.
- Comfortable with numbers: you’ll be handling membership fees and putting together basic financial reports.
- Organised, collaborative and good at juggling tasks.
- Tech‑savvy with CRM systems and office tools.
- Bonus points if you’ve worked with membership organisations before (but it’s not a deal‑breaker).
