Employment experience in an administrative role, preferably for a membership or not-for-profit organisation, would be an advantage, but, if you have the right skills, we are happy to receive applications from those seeking their first role. You must be willing and able to travel internationally and to work occasional evenings and weekends, with plenty of advance notice.
