OFFICE MANAGER & EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT @ REMIX

Keep the vibe flowing. Power the mission. Support the vision.

REMIX is a youth charity with energy. We’re bold. We’re positive. We’re community-first. We back young Londoners with confidence, skills, networks, and opportunities to rise — on their terms, in their voice, with their power.

Now we’re looking for a volunteer Office Manager & Executive Assistant who can bring organisation, warmth, and good vibes to the heart of the charity — supporting our Founder & CEO and keeping REMIX running smoothly behind the scenes.

We want someone who is:

• Super organised, reliable, and full of positive energy

• A natural people-person who brings calm, clarity, and good vibes

• Passionate about youth empowerment and community

• Confident with admin, communication, and keeping things moving

• Ready to support leadership and help build a charity that feels youthful, bold, and full of life

What you’ll actually do:

• Support our Founder & CEO with day‑to‑day admin and coordination

• Set up and keep our office systems tidy, smooth, and stress‑free

• Manage emails, scheduling, documents, and key communications

• Help ensure we meet charity regulations, policies, and good practice

• Keep track of tasks, deadlines, and important information

• Be the friendly, organised presence that keeps everything flowing

• Bring ideas, energy, and structure to help REMIX grow

This is the behind‑the‑scenes role that keeps the whole movement moving.

Why this role matters:

When the office runs smoothly, the mission runs powerfully. Your support helps our CEO stay focused on leading the movement, building partnerships, and backing young Londoners to rise.

You become the:

• Organiser who keeps everything on track

• Right hand who supports leadership with confidence

• Steady presence who brings calm to the chaos

• Positive force who helps REMIX stay vibrant, youthful, and unstoppable

Who this is perfect for:

• People who love organising, planning, and making things easier for others

• People who want to support a mission that actually changes lives

• People who vibe with youth culture, community energy, and purpose

• People who want to build experience in charity operations, leadership support, or admin

If you’re ready to support the vision, power the mission, and keep the vibe flowing — REMIX wants you.

Let’s build something powerful together.
