- Advertised from 19th April 2023
- 24 hours per week, Monday to Thursday 9am – 3pm at the MVA office. Very occasional evening work.
Role
Midlothian is a small local authority, made up of a series of small market towns and a semi-rural area. There is strong cooperative working between the third sector and statutory agencies.
The Administrator will work as part of a small team in an office that is shared by Midlothian Voluntary Action (MVA), and its partner organisation, Volunteer Midlothian, which together form the Midlothian Third Sector Interface (TSI). More information about both organisations can be found here: thirdsectormidlothian.org.uk
Our offices are located on a busy pedestrian precinct, in the centre of Dalkeith. You will be a key person in coordinating activities in the office and its meeting room. We have recently taken on another property next door ‘The Salon’ which will have TSI projects running out of it and be open to bookings from other third sector orgs. The post-holder will support the running and booking of this space alongside the bookings for the main office. There are currently sixteen staff who are hybrid working out of the office who require co-ordination at times. This post will be key in keeping everyone linked together.
The post will have a key role in supporting the work of MVA, and the TSI more widely, providing admin support to the team, assisting with any events, and raising the profile of the TSI by updating our social media accounts and website in line with the communications and engagement strategy.
You will be working alongside both staff members and volunteers, and dealing with members of the public, so will have to have excellent interpersonal skills. As a charity, we will be looking for someone who values the work of the third sector and is keen to work for an organisation that supports others.
