3SG Operations & Comms Manager
About Us
3SG is an independent membership network that has been supporting the charity, social enterprise, faith and voluntary sector operating in Bath and North East Somerset since 2018. We offer 1:1 support, training, networking, and advocacy work with local and national Government and the NHS.
3SG is a charity in its own right, which exists to offer valuable infrastructure support for the Third Sector in B&NES - everything that we do is for the benefit of our members; local charities, community groups and social enterprises.
Why we’re hiring
The organisation has grown significantly in the past few years, and is about to enter a new phase. We have secured a larger office space in Queen Square, which will allow us to offer low cost events and hot desking space for our 260+ membership of local charities, as well as providing a home for our now team of seven. This role is vital to the successful launch and daily running of our new hub.
This is an exciting new role for someone that is passionate about supporting local charities, community groups and social enterprises, as well as helping to play a key part in the running of this new space and keeping our day to day operations running smoothly, working alongside our friendly team.
What you’ll be doing
As an essential component of our charity, you will be required to carry out a wide range of administrative and office-based tasks, looking after elements of finance, communications and organisation as needed. You will be required to keep organised and up to date records of 3SG member details, minutes, policies and other forms of data collected. As the operational backbone of our new charity hub space, you will also be managing hot‑desking and room bookings, welcoming visiting members, and setting up the space (including the light physical setup of meeting rooms and equipment).

The Ideal Candidate
You are a dynamic self-starter and team player who is highly organised, tech‑savvy (proficient in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365), with strong communication skills and social media literacy. Someone who can take initiative, prioritise and multi-task, but also follow instructions with high accuracy, with a minimum 1–2 years’ experience in a busy administrative or operational role (or equivalent transferable experience). Importantly, you will also be driven by purpose and have an enthusiasm for supporting the Third Sector and the work of local charities.
Why Join Us?
You’ll be joining a friendly and tight-knit team where your voice matters, at an exciting time of growth as you help us shape our new charity hub. Unlike working for a single-cause charity, this role offers a rare "360-degree" insight into the entire Third Sector, and opportunity to learn about and support a diverse community of organisations within it, from grassroots community groups to large national charities.
What We Offer
* Competitive salary of £28,000 per annum
* 25 days annual leave, rising by 1 day per year of service until 28 days, plus bank holidays
* Organisation laptop and mobile phone
* Westfield Health workplace wellbeing programme
* Regular opportunities for socials with a friendly team and occasional team building days
At 3SG, we are committed to the principle of equal opportunity and believe in diversity and inclusion throughout our work. 3SG’s objective is to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and otherwise treated solely on the basis of their relevant aptitudes, skills and abilities.
Please note that our office at 1A Queen Square is located in a Grade I listed building and is situated across the first and second floors. Due to the historic nature of the building, there is currently no lift access. We encourage any candidates who may have concerns about accessibility to contact us for an informal chat about the physical nature of the hub‑based tasks.
