Job Description:

The role: Temporary Administrator

This role is acting as temporary cover whilst our Activities Co-ordinator is on long-term sick leave. The ‘Activities programming’ part of this role is being covered internally, so this post focuses on administrative and operational support.  

This is a temporary contract until the end of the year (31st December 2026), or until the postholder returns to the post, with a month’s notice period. There is the potential to extend this contract by up to a further 6 months if mutually agreed.  

It is expected that the 0.4FTE (14.5 hours) would be split over two 7.25 hour days (8.45am-5pm). Ideally these would be Thursdays and Fridays although some flexibility may be possible.  

We are looking for a friendly and organised Temporary Administrator to help keep our office running smoothly. This role focuses on reception cover and day-to-day administration, supporting our bookings team to ensure visitors have a positive experience.
