Our mission? To champion human factors, set the gold standard for the discipline and support our members with professional development and engagement with a thriving community. Join us and meet some amazing people.
About us
We’re the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors (CIEHF) and what we do is pretty special.

The role
We’re on the lookout for a Member Services Officer to join our team full‑time in the Midlands. It’s a role that mixes customer service, organisation and a bit of creativity:
- You’ll be answering member questions and making sure they feel supported.
- Keeping records neat and tidy (because details matter).
- Helping us spread the word with member communications and marketing.
- Pulling together reports that keep us on track.
- And you’ll get to help run our online events, bringing our community together.
What we’re looking for
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).
We have regular team meetings in the West Midlands so you'll need to be based within reasonable travelling distance. Ideally, too, you'll have a valid driving licence.

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, adherence to Earth's planetary boundaries, and consideration of future generations.
For nearly 40 years, we have built a global reputation for groundbreaking dialogue and incisive thought leadership to strengthen international peace and security. We are an intellectually and culturally diverse team of 20 expert-practitioners with deep 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.
