Contract: Fixed term – 1 year

At The Lucy Rayner Foundation, we support the mental health and wellbeing of young people across Surrey. We are a small, values-led charity with a big heart, and we are now looking for an experienced and highly organised Administration Executive to join our friendly and supportive team.
This is a pivotal role at the heart of the organisation. You will help ensure the smooth day-to-day running of our office, provide high-quality administrative support to our leadership team, and play an important part in supporting our counselling services, volunteers, and events.
If you are proactive, professional, and thrive in a varied role where your work genuinely makes a difference, we would love to hear from you.
About the Role
You will be the first point of contact for many of our supporters, partners, and service users. You will manage core office administration, support the CEO and Operations Manager, coordinate volunteers, and provide administrative assistance across the charity’s services and activities.
No two days will be the same, and you will need to be confident juggling priorities while maintaining a calm, compassionate, and professional approach at all times.
