Job description
We are welcoming applications for our new post of part time Administrator and Data Manager for our growing charity, Children and War UK. We are offering an opportunity to become an integral part of our dedicated team, enabling the smooth day-to-day running of our work and helping us reach and make a significant difference to the lives of (more) children who have been affected by the trauma of war and natural disasters.
This post will initially be for one year, with the possibility of renewal, and the post holder will work remotely from home and be self-employed. We are looking for someone who can work flexibly up to 45 hours per month (5 to 6 days spread across the month) with an hourly rate of £15-20 depending on experience (to be negotiated at interview). Depending on location and the needs of the work, there may be a possibility of occasional meetings in London.
The post will provide administrative support across the organisation, working across the key streams of the charity including training, research, fundraising and communications.
We are looking for a skilled and enthusiastic person with good administration experience, who is proficient in a range of information and communication packages. This position would suit someone who is self-motivated, who can work flexibly and be confident working independently, using their own initiative, as well as having excellent interpersonal skills.
This is a new and exciting post, which gives the opportunity to play an integral role in supporting the work and growth of a young charity. You will be joining a friendly and dedicated team who are passionate about helping children. You will be well supported to deliver and develop this new role for the Charity.
More about Children and War UK
Children and War UK was established in the UK in 2021 and is closely affiliated with the Norwegian Children and War Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation. Sadly, so many children are affected by the trauma of war and disasters, and their lives, families and community can be torn apart as a consequence. The proven trauma recovery techniques developed by Children and War and the Children and War Foundation can help to reduce the long-term psychological effects these events have on young lives.
Our key work is to provide training to enable professionals to reach large groups of children from affected areas and support them in providing interventions to help the children cope with their fears and trauma. The people that we train can go on to cascade the training to others in their community so more children can be reached as early as possible.
Please note that we are simultaneously also recruiting for a second part-time position, as Communication Officer.
