Cripplegate Foundation and Islington Giving are hiring a new Office Manager!
About You
Are you a friendly, flexible and adaptable person with strong communication skills? Are you willing to get stuck into a variety of tasks to achieve a common goal in addressing local inequality? Do you enjoy working as part of a small, dynamic team? If so, you could be our new Office Manager!
This is an incredibly rewarding role for someone who has the passion and commitment to help us address inequalities and to tackle poverty and inequality at a local level. No two days will be the same.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to learn about the voluntary sector, particularly learning about trusts and foundations and grant making, as well as developing skills in a variety of administrative functions, such as databases, finance, premises and health and safety.
About the role
- You will need excellent communication skills, as you will often be the first point of contact for all enquiries, including grant applicants donors, and room bookings.
- You will support the fundraising and programmes team with running events and resident panels.
- You will be responsible for ensuring that the building is safe, well maintained and accessible to all staff, tenants and visitors, including sourcing and managing contractors.
- You will support the finance and fundraising teams with data entry and reporting, purchasing and reconciliations.
- You will also have the opportunity to delve into special initiatives, such as supporting our strategic objectives around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), the use of AI and environmental action.
The role is ideal for someone either with existing office management experience or someone with administrative experience who is keen and ready to step up in their career, to take on more responsibility and join a small dynamic team based in Islington. If you are looking to develop your career whilst working for a community-based charity, and are a team-player, then this could be the next role for you.
