Senior Administrator

About our Organisation

The Soil Association, formed in 1946, is the only UK charity which works across the spectrum of
human health, the environment and animal welfare. That’s because we cannot tackle these issues
in isolation.

We campaign for change, we support farming innovation, we serve healthy food in communities, we
support and grow the organic market, and we protect forests. We couldn’t do any of this without
our supporters, partners, donors and dedicated staff. We make a difference in the world
where it’s needed the most.

About the Opportunity

Putting good food in the hearts, hands and bellies of children every day has been driving us at
FFL for more than 15 years, and we’re proud to have our schemes cited as go to solutions in the
National Food Strategy.

We are seeking a senior administrator to work across our four award programmes supporting the
day-to-day delivery of the schemes. You’ll work in a small dynamic team within the wider Food
for Life team, who like to support and encourage each other to be the absolute best we can be.
We take pride in the programmes and always try to make them the best we can. This is a complex
admin role, doing the same sort of tasks across four programmes that all operate in their own
slightly different ways and you’ll need to enjoy the challenges this brings.

About You

You’ll take pride in delivering exceptional customer service and have exceptional attention to
detail. You will be comfortable delivering complex admin processes and happy to identify
opportunities for improvement. You have a range of communications experience and feel
comfortable working with people. You are self-motivated, hard-working, and driven. You will
need to be a competent IT user for this role. We record all our conversations and data. We do
most of our work using a CRM database. It isn’t perfect but we love it. You need to be happy to
find your way around a new system and be careful and accurate in your data management. Finally,
you need to truly believe in the ethos, aims and objectives of the Soil Association and its
Food for Life Programmes.
