Office Administrator

The Resolution Foundation is looking for a proactive and highly organised Administrator to join our team to help ensure the smooth organisation of our day-to-day operations. This is an exciting time to join our organisation as we build on the success of our recent Economy 2030 Inquiry, welcome a new Chief Executive and embark on a major study of the lives and economic prospects of the UK's 13 million low-to-middle income households.

What does the role involve?

A key position within our Resources Team, the role involves ensuring the office runs smoothly including providing basic IT support and supporting the delivery of internal and external events and meetings. Working closely with the Senior Resources Manager, the postholder will assist in maintaining a range of finance, HR and administrative systems. This is a full-time position but we will also consider candidates who wish to work flexibly for four days per week.

What kind of person are we looking for?

We're looking for candidates with excellent organisation skills, a meticulous attention to detail and the ability to juggle varied and competing demands efficiently. Clear, fluent and concise written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the confidence to communicate effectively with colleagues and a range of partners and stakeholders. Excellent IT skills including experience of Microsoft Office software and the ability to maintain high standards while working flexibly in a fast-paced environment are also required.

What is the organisational culture?

The Resolution Foundation prides itself on the analytical rigor of our economic analysis and we strive to achieve standards of excellence in all our work, including our internal procedures. This commitment is matched by dedication to our core purpose, working to improve the living standards of those on low to middle incomes.

The Foundation is a small close-knit team and staff members support each other and share cross organisational work in addition to fulfilling individual responsibilities. We offer a competitive benefits package, a range of flexible and family-friendly policies, plus training and development opportunities including support for formal qualifications when applicable. Due to the nature of the duties of the Administrator, the postholder will be required to work predominantly from our Westminster office, with limited opportunities for remote working.

Closing date for applications: Monday 20 January 2025.
