Children’s Parliament is a friendly, Edinburgh-based charity that works in Scotland and beyond. Our dream is that children grow up in a world of love, happiness and understanding. Our mission is to inspire greater awareness and understanding of the power of children’s human rights and to support implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
We are looking for a team member to manage our office located in Summerhall in Edinburgh. This unique role will require your expertise in running a busy workplace as well as your passion for delivering an exceptional employee experience. Excellent organisation, communication and finance skills are essential for this role. You will have the ability to build great relationships with a diverse range of staff, trustees and funders. As a small charity, the ability to jump in and support the team is important, as is the ability to problem solve.
The Office Manager will have a strong focus on finance, leading on financial transactions and managing the day-to-day relationship with our outsourced finance provider. The role will support our internal budget holders, as well as managing financial communications with our funders.
You will support the Senior Leadership Team and Trustees in the running of the organisation and manage the logistics and note taking for our Board committees. This role reports to the Head of Operations and Business Development, as part of our operations team.
We offer flexible working, the opportunity to work from home for part of the week and we are happy to discuss working patterns with candidates, either in advance or at interview. With the requirements for the role, we anticipate the successful candidate will work in the office for at least three days a week.
