Charity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront. We evidence our commitment by matching charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates irrespective of background e.g. age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

The Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust is looking for one or more organised, practical and people-focused colleagues to support the day-to-day running of our small conservation charity.
We protect, maintain and enhance the unique character of Hampstead Garden Suburb: an internationally important example of early 20th-century town planning and architecture. This role is central to helping the Trust work well day to day.
The work falls into two connected strands:
- Resident and Office Coordination: supporting residents and visitors, managing enquiries, coordinating office arrangements, helping ensure telephone and inbox cover, and maintaining oversight of the Trust calendar and annual programme.
- Information, Property and Governance Support: maintaining accurate records, supporting property and financial administration, helping with conveyancing enquiries, preparing meeting papers and minutes, and supporting governance processes.
We are open to appointing either one full-time person covering both strands, or more than one part-time colleague with responsibilities divided between them. The final arrangement will depend on the skills, availability and working pattern of the successful candidate or candidates.
This role could suit someone who enjoys varied, useful work in a small organisation where their contribution is visible. You will need to be organised, accurate, calm with the public, confident using records and systems, and able to follow work through reliably.
Some candidates may be stronger in resident contact and office coordination; others may be stronger in records, property administration and governance. Candidates do not need to have experience in every area.
The role is office-based at the Trust office in London NW11. Full-time is 35 hours per week. Part-time and annualised-hours arrangements will be considered. Annualised hours means that working time may vary across the year to support individual working patterns while meeting the Trust’s operational needs.
The Trust’s normal office hours are 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. Part-time candidates would not be expected to work across all office hours, but candidates will need to be available for a minimum of three hours on Monday mornings.
Salary is £29,000–£32,000 per annum FTE, pro rata for part-time or annualised-hours arrangements. The Trust offers 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, pro rata where applicable, and a contributory pension scheme with an employer contribution of 8% where the employee contributes 8%.
Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. The Trust is not able to sponsor visas for this role.
Please submit a CV and covering letter explaining your suitability for the role.
In your covering letter, please tell us why you are interested in the role and how your experience matches the main requirements.
Please also answer the screening questions, including whether you are applying on a full-time or part-time basis. If you are applying part-time, please indicate which strand of the role you are most interested in and your preferred working pattern.
Deadline is 4 August, and interviews will be held week commencing 10 August.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
