This new role will be a core part of the Royal Court team, with a focus on high-quality co-ordination and administration to underpin how we manage and support all our staff, ensure smooth board and governance operations, and establish a positive and effective workplace. The job focuses particularly on managing key HR procedures, systems and records (including recruitment); supporting trustee activity including statutory board meetings and paperwork; and ensuring effective internal communications and administration across all our teams.

The successful candidate will have:
- Understanding of and commitment to the progression of anti-racism and anti-oppression in the workplace and through your role.
- Excellent IT skills, including confidence engaging with new systems and trouble-shooting issues.
- Positive, friendly and approachable when working with a wide range of staff and stakeholders at all levels.
- Highly organised with a systematic approach to administrative tasks and the ability to forward-plan and use initiative in managing a busy schedule.
