What is the role?
We are looking for a proactive, highly organised and detail-focused Business Administration Assistant to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in supporting the smooth day-to-day running of Saints Foundation, ensuring our colleagues have the systems, resources, and administrative support they need to make a positive impact across our city.

You will manage the Foundation inbox, responding to enquiries and directing communications to the appropriate teams. You'll coordinate meeting arrangements, diary management, room bookings, and workplace logistics, while also supporting the organisation and administration of meetings, events, staff activities, and project visits. This will include coordinating work experience placements, stakeholder visits, and the Club's new starter induction programme to ensure a positive and well-organised experience for all involved.
