Description
We are currently looking for an Operations Administrator to join us at The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation.
Not all learning happens in the classroom. In fact, some of life’s most valuable lessons happen in the least likely of places.
This is where The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award (the Award) comes in.
Founded nearly 70 years ago, the Award is a global, non-formal education and learning framework which operates in more than 120 countries and territories.
Open to all 14 to 24-year-olds, regardless of their background, culture, or physical ability, the Award aims to challenge young people to discover their potential and find their purpose, passion and place in the world, while working towards a globally recognised accreditation.
The Operations Administrator will work closely with the broader Operations team to provide centralised communication and administrative support, and effective coordination across all aspects of the work of the Operations team.
As this role is central to the work of the Operations team, the person will need to be proactive, organised, and able to juggle multiple tasks and deadlines. As well as being the key link between the Operations team and the Research and Communication teams, they will need to be able to work well with the wider organisation and provide excellent customer service to a variety of stakeholders globally. A key focus of the role will be to ensure data accuracy across a variety of platforms, drafting and coordinating centralised communications with Operators, and support reporting on the activities of the Operations team. The successful candidate will not only have strong administrative skills and experience but will also have strong experience within communications and/or research.
Please see the recruitment pack for more information on key responsibilities for the role.
The closing date for applications is Friday 9 August by 12 noon EST. Please submit your CV and cover letter by this date. Interviews will take place shortly after, and we are looking for the successful candidate to start as soon as possible.
