BUFDG Events and Admin Assistant (0.5-0.6 FTE)

We are looking for a part-time Events and Admin Assistant to support the BUFDG team and the higher education (HE) finance community.  This role will play a key role in coordinating webinars and online meetings, supporting the Executive Director with diary management, reports, and correspondence, and the rest of the BUFDG team with general administrative tasks.  

The Events and Admin Assistant formally reports to the BUFDG Learning and Development Manager and has no direct management responsibilities. You will work closely with the Learning and Development Manager, the Events and E-learning Manager, and the Executive Director, but will provide support to everyone in the small team at BUFDG. 

This role will be home-based but will include some UK travel, including conferences, six-weekly BUFDG team meetings (usually in London), twice yearly PHES meetings in the Loughborough area, and occasional overnight stays. There may also be sporadic office working in our Loughborough office to meet and work with colleagues on occasion. 

BUFDG is the representative membership body supporting HE finance staff in the UK. Our members are the Directors of Finance (FDs) and Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) and their staff, of almost all UK HE institutions. BUFDG is a Special Interest Organisation (SIO) of Professional HE Services (PHES) - an umbrella company which comprises a number of other associations. We are not-for-profit and exist to support members, and any funds generated through the activities of BUFDG are used to fulfil our objectives and mission. 

We will offer a competitive salary between £24,685 - £28,031 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. 

We are committed to equality of opportunity, to eliminating discrimination and to creating an inclusive working environment for all. We therefore encourage candidates to apply irrespective of age, disability, marriage or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion and belief, gender identity, sex, or sexual orientation.
