Administrator – UK&I – EY Foundation – Permanent – UK Wide 1

The EY Foundation is a charity and a company, limited by guarantee, established in 2014. We were founded by EY, the professional services firm, which continues to provide funding and donations to the charity under a multi-annual funding agreement. We are governed by a board of trustees, who are supported by a number of committees and leadership and management teams.

The EY Foundation helps young people, disadvantaged in the labour market, to fulfil their work potential. We are unique in our position as the link between employers and young people, having strong relationships with both.

Our work involves designing, developing and running our own services: Smart Futures, Our Future and Accelerate, as well as raising independent funds to support new initiatives and reach more young people across the UK. We work with organisations from across all sectors, including commercial, not-for-profit, education and government.

As an independent charity we have to diversify and raise our own income through traditional fundraising, grants and, increasingly, through the development of our work with corporate partners.

Within the Foundation we adopt flexible roles that reflect the dynamic nature of our charity and enable our people to learn, develop and grow their skills and open up career opportunities. This is part of our investment in you. This role profile provides an outline of what will be involved in your role rather than an exhaustive list of duties. Both you and this role will naturally evolve.

In your role you will be expected to demonstrate or develop leadership competences based on the Foundation’s four key values. They are:

• Growth mindset – increase our impact on more young people through dedication, innovation and hard work
• Empower people – everyone is given the opportunity to develop and to succeed
• Courage – use new learning and diversity of thought to challenge the status quo, embracing lessons learned even if a project misses its targets
• Collaboration – build relationships – internally and externally – to share ideas, embed an inclusive approach, and achieve bigger outcomes.

Whatever your specific responsibilities and specialisms, as an Administrator/ Co-Ordinator you will be customer and delivery-focused, structured and organised in your approach, highly engaged and interactive with colleagues and beneficiaries of our work. You will take personal ownership of your work and will be proactive in your own development. You will be collaborative with colleagues and supportive of each other in achieving our collective targets and objectives.

Your role will be varied and work across all areas of the Charity’s operations, giving you sight of a wide range of activities as part of your development and growth.

Your Key Responsibilities

Operational support – assisting in all administrative work in programme delivery, including the distribution and collection of laptops to programme participants, helping with onboarding processes for young people, liaising with relevant EY and team colleagues.

Volunteering support – assisting with safeguarding checks (DBS and NSPCC processing and tracking), maintaining the volunteer contact database, and liaison with EY volunteering systems (Ripples).

General administration – including calendar updates, meetings administration, team support across the Charity.

Data and systems support – including updating relevant data dashboards and data management systems, including our new CRM and website.

Legal and compliance support – assisting across a range of compliance processes, including BRETs and other independence checks.

Fundraising support – assisting the income teams in developing and running fundraising activities.

You will be trained and developed in all aspects of this work so prior knowledge of all areas is not an essential requirement.

To qualify for this role, you must bring your demonstratable abilities and aptitudes in the following areas:

• Strong working knowledge and experience in an administrative or operational role
• Delivering excellent customer service, to internal or external customers or service users
• Working in a delivery-focused organisation
• Developing compliance/quality processes
• Co-ordinating multiple activities or tasks effectively
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
• Ability to foster positive relationships with a range of people
• Collaboration and flexibility in your team working, whilst also being able to work with minimum supervision
• Strong and evidenced commitment to diversity
• Strong commitment to improve the working lives and prospects of disadvantaged young people in the UK

You will be able to demonstrate the competences expected of an EY Foundation Co-ordinator. Where you need more time to fully develop those competences, we will support you in so doing.
