Job Role: Senior Administrator
28hrs p/w (4-days) – £22,800 (£28,500 FTE) per annum
Community First Oxfordshire is a charity striving for diversity in our small team. If we are delivering services to support all people and all communities, then we need to make sure our team is inclusive. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and ages.
Job details
CFO is a community development charity which helps communities and individuals to identify issues that affect them and find their own solutions. We support and advise, using the principles of Asset Based Community Development, many volunteer-led actions in Oxfordshire. We think that stronger, more sustainable communities are built using the skills and gifts that people already have. CFO is a membership organisation and run two membership and affiliation
schemes.
The Senior Administrator will manage the smooth running of the office, support regular CFO communications, and provide creative and proactive support to the joint CEOs and the Board of Trustees. The Senior Administrator will lead on the charity’s membership scheme with support from the part time Finance Officer. A key feature of this important role is that it includes being the Company Secretary for CFO, which is largely an administrative role running alongside clerk duties to the friendly Board of Trustees and all relevant meetings.
What we’re looking for
We are seeking a highly organised person with a range of skills, a flexible approach and a can-do attitude. You will need to enjoy working with all sorts of people from different backgrounds, enjoy a varied and busy ‘to do’ list and have great communication skills. You will enjoy running an effective office while building relationships with trustees, staff and community members. You will also be keen to improve on the governance of CFO and support the trustees and
joint-CEOs in the strategic and policy reviews over the year. Training and support will be offered for specific types of projects and services. Support will also be given by the two joint-CEOs.
