Could this be the role you've been looking for?
We're looking for a highly organised, proactive and friendly Charity Administrator to become a key member of our team.
At Nurture the Borders, we support parents, babies and families across the Scottish Borders through some of the most important, and sometimes most challenging—times in their lives. Behind every counselling session, parent group, outreach visit and volunteer service is a team of dedicated people working together to make a real difference.
As our Charity Administrator, you'll help make all of that possible.


This is much more than a traditional administration role. You'll be the first point of contact for many of the families and professionals who get in touch with us, provide personal assistant support to our CEO, help our practitioners stay organised, coordinate the administration that keeps our services running smoothly and support the wider team across every area of our work.


No two days are the same, and that's exactly what makes this role so rewarding.

​

We're looking for someone who...

  • Loves being organised and takes pride in producing work to a high standard.

  • Is calm, dependable and enjoys bringing order to busy days.

  • Takes the initiative and enjoys finding practical solutions.

  • Provides outstanding customer service with warmth, professionalism and compassion.

  • Is trustworthy, discreet and able to handle confidential information with care.

  • Enjoys working as part of a supportive team and helping others succeed.

  • Wants to make a genuine difference to local families.

​​

If you're the kind of person who notices what needs doing, quietly gets on with it and enjoys helping a team thrive, we'd love to hear from you.


About the role
As our Charity Administrator, you'll:

  • Be the first point of contact for families, professionals and visitors.

  • Provide administrative and personal assistant support to the CEO.

  • Support our Perinatal & Infant Mental Health Practitioners and wider team.

  • Help coordinate the administration of our services, meetings, events and projects.

  • Maintain accurate records using Podio and Google Workspace.

  • Support our communications by responding to social media enquiries and assisting with online content.

  • Help ensure the charity continues to deliver a warm, efficient and professional service to every family who contacts us.
