Peat Programme Administrator

35 hours per week

£24,999 - £27,020 per annum

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is one of the UK’s fastest growing nature conservation organisations and seeks to appoint a Programme Administrator to join its Peat Programme.

The Peat Programme has brought almost 43,000 hectares of upland peatland into restoration management since 2009. It is consequently becoming increasingly complex, with a number of multi-year, multi-partner projects requiring high levels of project and financial management, project meetings, and claim and report preparation and submission. As a result we need a Programme Administrator to support the smooth-running of the programme.

This post will provide administrative, financial, and business support to the Programme Manager and management team to ensure timely and efficient implementation of Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s Peat Programme. As Peat Programme Administrator you will need to:

• be comfortable with finance processes and business support
• have excellent communication skills and act as key contact between our funders and our finance team
• be comfortable presenting at an organisational level

You will also need immaculate attention to detail and a high degree of personal organisation.

When writing your supporting statement, please refer to the person specification within the job description, and ensure you describe your relevant knowledge, skills and experience relevant to the role. Ideally, your CV and supporting statement should be in an editable format, such as Word, so we can anonymise your documents prior to the short-listing process.
