Southend in Sight is a local charity supporting people living with sight loss. Following a successful Lottery grant, we are pleased to announce this exciting opportunity to join the Southend in Sight team.
We are looking for a well organised and skilled Administrator who will support the services we provide at our new resource Centre in Southend. You will need to have a confident and friendly phone manner, be IT literate, have experience utilising a database and able to juggle priorities and tasks.
You will also need to be a people person who enjoys being part of an active team. We support hundreds of people every year who live with sight loss and you will need to show that you are a good communicator at all levels. Lived experience of sight loss either directly or indirectly or experience in the sight loss or charitable sector would be an advantage but is not essential.
For the right candidate, this full time role offers a stimulating and supportive working environment with room to grow. The Central Administrator will be the first point of call for people needing help and a warm and friendly outlook is essential.
