We are looking for a responsible Administrator and Events staff member to work 28 hours per week, helping with the smooth running of our organisation, in particular our events.

The salary for this position is: £19,801.60
The role
The job involves providing back-end support to our staff, taking our catering orders, booking deliveries, arranging Front of House staff for events and often being FoH at events coordinating and ensuring the event runs smoothly.

For our community work, they will help schedule our classes, carry out surveys and keep track of the sign-ups and mailing lists. Occasionally, they will help out with our community meals.
Access to a vehicle is a plus, it is beneficial for the occasions where we are taking other FoH to events outside of town or taking food to smaller jobs in town. (In these circumstances, we pay mileage for this.)
