About this job

This is a new role at Woolwich Works, leading the administration function for the organisation and supporting the Director and Board with key administrative functions, ensuring that the organisation’s systems work to support everything that we do, whilst paying close attention to detail. Looking after the invitations and guest lists, arranging small scale events on behalf of the Trust and being a welcoming and friendly face to visitors, this is a varied senior administration function.

Is this job for you?

We’re looking for someone with strong experience as an administrator, who is used to developing systems and supporting others to get on board and use them effectively. You’ll enjoy ensuring that the finer detail is correct and gain satisfaction from a job well done.

You’ll be super organised, keep a close attention to detail, be able to manage multiple ongoing and short-term projects at the same time, and love the buzz and liveliness of a 7-day a week events venue. You’ll excel at developing systems that make everyone’s lives easier and be able to learn new IT packages quickly. Whilst experience in live events or the arts would help, they are not essential for this role.
