The role

Currently the organisation's team members work in 4 countries from either their home or a suitable office space. The organisation has plans to have a London office in October but until that time, team members work remotely, coming together via video conference call / Skype.The ideal candidate would therefore be a self-starter, an initiative taker, used to working by themselves in a flexible environment and comfortable being in a small enterprise with minimal structure. The working location would either be from home or from a convenient shared office space (with appropriate costs covered by the charity).

The placed candidate will be working for 3 days per week but with some flexibility for additional work if necessary, this will be at the beginning in order to get up to speed and maybe at other times around busy periods.
