Summary
We couldn't do what we do without our Operations team ensuring that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. Our Senior Administrator forms a vital part of the team and will need to manage a busy and varied workload, ensuring our offices are fit for purpose as well as providing general administrative services across the organisation with the support of our Administration Assistant.
Working with World Land Trust
WLT is based in the UK and is unique within the conservation world. Reaching beyond its 30th year of operation, the Trust has grown from small beginnings saving critically threatened forest in Belize to become an internationally respected conservation organisation with a proven track record, working with more than 50 overseas conservation NGOs on the protection of threatened habitats. WLT has developed its modus operandi without losing its vision, integrity and transparency.
Who we're looking for
We're looking for recent experience of providing general office administration, excellent customer service and organisational skills, with a proactive, positive and flexible approach to work. With a workforce largely based around the country, we're driving technological change, and so a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office systems and an openness to embracing technology is essential. An understanding of health and safety requirements in the workplace is desirable, along with the ability to manage your own workload and undertake line management of our Administration Assistant.
This post is available up to our full-time hours of 35 hours per week, with a minimum of 28 hours ideally worked over 5 days per week. Whilst our offices are based in Halesworth, Suffolk, we know that our staff have valued the opportunity to enjoy a healthy work/life balance. We build flexibility into the way we work from day one, including options for compressed hours and hybrid working between home and our offices with supportive technology to enable remote connection and collaboration. We believe that this supports our staff to achieve their full potential at work. Due to the need to manage our offices, you will be required to work from our offices for a minimum of 3 days per week, Tuesday to Thursday.
We recognise the benefits of a diverse workforce, bringing new perspectives and different experiences into the workplace. Our aim is to be an inclusive employer, providing a welcoming and supportive environment for all staff, where staff can be the best they can be. We recognise that we are underrepresented in some groups so welcome and encourage applications from minority ethnicities, those with disabilities, and all gender identities. What's important to us in this process is your skills, knowledge and experience to enable you to do the job, and that is where our focus will be to find our next new team member!
