About you

Can you process financial paperwork, understand grant claims and reporting requirements, chivvy partners, work to the demands of a busy project manager, arrange meetings, and are happy to pitch in to support the wider team when the odd project delivery event or day gets a bit tricky?

Are you looking for part-time hours with great flexibility?

Do you enjoy working ‘behind the scenes’?

If so, we’d love to hear from you!
