This is an exciting time to join the Third Age Trust - which supports the u3a movement - as we celebrate its 40th anniversary, the u3a movement is a national charity which supports people who are no longer working full time to continue their interests, activity, keep learning and have fun.

The Third Age Trust works with 1040 u3as, all volunteer-led member charities, across the UK. Founded 40 years ago, the UK u3a movement encourages groups of people in their third age to come together and continue their enjoyment of learning in subjects of interest to them. The u3as promote lifelong learning through self-help interest groups covering a wide range of topics and activities, as chosen by their members. In this role you will lead on the advice and information provided by the Trust to u3as and also to individual members.

Reporting to the Head of Member Services, you will manage the staff and volunteers responsible for giving organisational advice to the volunteer led member charities. Advice, guidance and information is provided through a telephone advice line and by email and post. You will be responsible for the accuracy and updating of advice, and the proactive and timely dissemination of information relevant to u3as.

A highly competent manager, you will be knowledgeable about the major issues that impact on charity operations and will be organised and systematic in your approach. You will have the ability to build relationships internally and with volunteers and trustees as well as being committed to grassroots and volunteer organisations.
