Recently named Charity of the Year by Just Giving Awards 2022, we’re committed to moving further, faster to accelerate change for everyone affected by a brain tumour. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under 40 in the UK than any other cancer. We know that a cure can’t wait.

We are looking for an organised and professional administrator to support the Corporate Partnerships Team. The admin support’s responsibilities include handling correspondence, preparing documents and scheduling meetings. Oversee the administrative processes of key accounts ensuring they run smoothly, this includes fulfilling orders for charity collateral (t-shirts, badges etc.), support in briefing volunteers for events and other ad-hoc tasks.

MS Office proficiency is required, as are excellent communication skills across all mediums, and an ability to work as part of a team or independently, using your initiative.

💰Benchmarked salary: £23,500 (dependent on level)

We're looking for a proactive self-starter with bags of enthusiasm and excellent communication and customer service skills. You will be collaborative and have a team-oriented attitude.
