EA & Office Manager

Job description

Are you a talented Executive Assistant (EA) and Office Manager living in the Lewisham area of South London?

Do you have the office management experience to assist the CEO of this well-established Welfare Charity Fund?

If you can say 'yes' to the above and you are familiar with what it takes to provide day-to-day admin support for a busy office, then this role could suit you. Especially, if you are known for running a tight ship and you love to work in a small but friendly environment.

Your role will be varied, and you will provide ongoing support to the various activities of the Welfare Charity Fund. You will be assisting with the committee meetings; and you will also roll up your sleeves and get involved with producing the Charity's magazine.

Another interesting function of this role will be raising national awareness of the Fund's activities within the wider organisation.

- to work with your colleagues to produce documentation for any events and trips organised by the Welfare Fund.
- to be responsible for all in-house policies & procedures and to maintain up to date awareness of any new legislation that may have an impact on those policies.


As mentioned, another exciting element to this role is assisting with the production of the Welfare Fund Magazine. You will liaise with contributors regarding the submission of articles, photographs, advertisements ensuring they meet relevant policies/guidelines, making sure advertisers and their adverts are still relevant and current.
Proof-reading skills will be an advantage, as you will receive a draft copy of the magazine prior to production, to ensure accuracy and quality.

There is also a 'in-house' shop where you will assist with its day-to-day operation. Alongside the Social Media Coordinator, you will make recommendations to the CEO relating to the purchasing of shop stock and the suitability of suppliers.
