The National Network for the Education of Care Leavers (NNECL) are seeking a committed and experienced Operations and Communications Officer to provide effective operational support and to work closely with our Executive Director to ensure our charity runs smoothly and efficiently.
You will be pivotal in managing day to day administrative tasks, helping with our external communications and providing support to deliver our strategic objectives.
Salary: £27,100 (FTE)
Hours: 30 hours per week over 4 days
Contract: Permanent
Location: Flexible, must work from our London workspace at least once a month, usually on a Tuesday for our ‘together’ day and you will be required to attend in person meetings and awareness raising events.
This multifaceted role will cover NNECL’s work broadly, from governance and trustee matters to processing invoices and supporting our communications and engagement activity. As our Operations and Communications Officer, you will have foresight, adaptability and the ability to handle a range of tasks that drive forward our mission while ensuring our day-to-day operations are flawlessly executed. This varied lynchpin role won’t suit you if you have limited work experience, like each week to look the same, don’t enjoy following organisational processes, want a large organisation with close supervision, or need to know every detail of the job upfront.
