We are looking for an enthusiastic and proactive individual to join our team as a part-time Support Officer. You will play a key role in coordinating webinars and online meetings, assisting with e-learning initiatives, and supporting the BUFDG team with general administrative tasks. 

The BUFDG Support Officer formally reports to the BUFDG Head of Operations and Engagement, and has no direct management responsibilities.

BUFDG is the representative membership body supporting higher education finance staff in the UK. Our members are the Directors of Finance and Chief Financial Officers (and their staff) of almost all UK higher education institutions. BUFDG is one of the higher education (H E) associations within the non-profit making company, Professional HE Services Ltd (PHES). We provide support, networking opportunities, and professional development to our members, helping them to excel in their roles and contribute to the success of their institutions. 

This role will be home based but will include some UK travel, including conferences, monthly BUFDG team meetings in London or Loughborough, twice-yearly PHES meetings in the Loughborough area, and occasional overnight stays. 

This is a part-time position, working between 0.6 and 0.8 FTE. 

We will offer a competitive salary between £26,338 - £29,959 pro-rata, dependent on qualifications and experience. A defined contribution pension scheme is offered with 7.5% employee and 16% employer contribution rates, together with life insurance. We offer 30 days’ holiday pro rata plus bank holidays and discretionary days’ office closure. Support for CPD and appropriate training will be given.
