We’re recruiting a volunteer Administration Assistant

Friends of the Earth is growing, and so is our workload. We’re in great need of someone with administrative experience to join and help our team succeed in campaigns and achieve our goals.

Administration Assistant will provide crucial support to the Friends of the Earth team, helping with day to day tasks and activities across all campaigns and areas of work.

We’re seeking someone who can commit to volunteering for a maximum of 10 hours a week for six months. The 10 hours would be spread over 3 or 4 days between 9am to 6pm. Tasks would include supporting Claudia, Head of Supporter Care and Communciations, and Audrey, Head of Operations and Finances, with day to day activities. This would involve helping check email queries and doing other administration work - as well as helping out with the various campaigns we run. The specific tasks will depend on what is going on at any particular time, but could include helping with fundraising, workshops and events.

This role would suit someone who has some previous experience in an administration role and is looking for a way to use their skills to support our work in a meaningful way. Please note, this is not an internship or traineeship and will not lead to a paid position. It is not a replacement for a paid role, rather it’s an opportunity for someone to contribute their time and skills to support Friends of the Earth’s work.
