As our Public Affairs Administrator, you will also be heavily involved in bringing our campaigns to life through a variety of engaging events and conferences. You will provide hands-on administrative support to coordinate speakers, manage guest invitations, and oversee the logistical details with venues and internal teams.

You will take the lead in providing critical administrative and coordination support, particularly when it comes to our parliamentary engagement. A major part of your day-to-day will involve coordinating an All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG), where you will handle everything from preparing compliance documentation to communicating directly with MPs, Peers, and their teams. You will act as the secretariat for these vital meetings, scheduling diaries, preparing agendas, taking minutes, and keeping our stakeholder records impeccably up to date.
This is a part time role working 21 hours a week, and these hours can be across three, four or five days a week. This is a fixed term role for 12 months. This is also a hybrid role with 40% of your week based in the office.
