This is a unique opportunity for an enthusiastic Team Assistant, who will support both the Research & Evidence and Policy & Public Affairs teams within the NSPCC Strategy and Knowledge Directorate.

What will the job involve?

As the Team Assistant for the Research and Evidence and Policy and Public Affairs teams, you will play a pivotal part in the running of two dynamic teams Responsibilities include:

• Providing administrative to the Research & Evidence and Policy & Public Affairs teams
• Working with the Research & Evidence Assistant and the Policy & Public Affairs assistants, to ensure the smooth running of internal and external meetings and events
• Providing administrative support for individual research and/or policy projects, as the need arises from time to time

Who am I working with?

The Team Assistant reports to the Head of Research & Evidence and the head of Policy and Public Affairs, but also with colleagues across the two teams, and with assistants and other colleagues across the wider Strategy & Knowledge directorate.

There is a diverse range of activity across the two teams, but there are things we all have in common; namely a passion for doing excellent work that makes a difference to children, and a commitment to showing care for each other and those involved in our work through trauma-informed practice and inclusive approaches. We put children at the heart of our work and in line with the NSPCC's strategic goals, listen to and take their views and ideas into account wherever we can.

Does this sound like the role for you?

We're looking for someone who shares these values. Additionally, as a Team Assistant you will need to work flexibly within a team, have strong written and verbal communication skills, and be adept at managing your own time and priorities.

This role would suit someone with some experience in an administrative function, but it is also a highly varied role with development opportunities for the right candidate, who will have a real commitment to the teams they support, and a desire to contribute to making a difference to the lives of children.

Please note that we reserve the right to close this post early if we receive a high number of applications.

Interviews for this post will take place in person at the NSPCC's Weston House office in London on 17 January 2024.

This is hybrid role, with the post holder working from the NSPCC London Office one day per week - or more, if preferred.
