Administrator and Hub Assistant

Job description

Would you like to be part of an award-winning children’s charity that makes a real difference every single day?

Sebby’s Corner is growing, and we are looking for a highly organised, proactive Administrator & Hub Assistant to join our small, friendly team.

This is a permanent, part-time role (24–28 hours per week across 4 days), perfect if you are looking for meaningful work that fits around family life, caring responsibilities or other commitments.

If you are a natural organiser, enjoy variety in your working week, and love knowing that the work you do genuinely matters, this could be the role for you.


ABOUT SEBBY’S CORNER

Sebby’s Corner is a Barnet-based charity supporting vulnerable families and children living in poverty across London and the South East. We support thousands of families every year with clothing, nappies, formula, school uniforms, birthday gifts and more. In 2024–25, we supported almost 4,000 children and over 2,300 parents, distributing £482,993 worth of essentials.

Sebby’s Corner serves families in crisis, many of whom are experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic abuse, seeking asylum, or living in poverty.

Referrals are made by frontline professionals including social workers, midwives, health visitors, and family support workers so we can ensure we are reaching the most vulnerable.

We believe by meeting immediate material needs, we can help stabilise families, reduce stress, and improve the wellbeing of both parents and children. We believe it is impossible to break free from debt, apply for work, or rebuild your life when you don’t know where your baby’s next nappy is coming from and that’s where our support begins.


ABOUT THE ROLE

No two days at Sebby’s Corner look the same. One day you might be ordering London Zoo tickets for a family, the next sending a mail merge to referral partners about a new service.

Your role will include:

• Admin and organisational support – providing day-to-day administrative support across the charity, including managing shared inboxes, answering the phone, sending mail merges and helping keep systems and records up to date

• Referral and service delivery support – supporting the Services Manager with day-to-day running of referrals and appointments, keeping records accurate, following up with families and referral partners, and helping ensure services run smoothly so families receive the items they need

• Hub, stock and supplies – supporting the management of hub stock and supplies and helping with ordering and collections so we’re always stocked and ready to support families

• Communications, social media and community engagement – supporting replies to messages and comments, assisting with social media posts, creating thank you certificates and helping keep our Amazon wishlists up to date

• Finance and donation processing – supporting basic donation and finance admin, including uploading receipts, recording donations on Salesforce (full training provided) and basic expense tracking


ABOUT YOU

What we’re looking for:

• Solid admin or office-based experience with strong organisational skills

• Calm, reliable and comfortable juggling different priorities

• Confident using email, shared drives and everyday IT systems

• Proactive and can-do attitude

• Quick learner, with a willingness to get stuck in and learn on the job

• Strong attention to detail and pride in doing things well

• Excellent written and spoken English

• Someone who enjoys being part of a small, supportive team and wants their work to make a difference

Your admin and organisational skills are what matter most. But if you also have:

• Some experience using a CRM or database (for example Salesforce or similar)

• Confidence using Canva for simple designs, certificates or social posts
…then you’ll be bringing some brilliant extras to the table!


The practical bits

Location: Based at our hub in EN5 4DJ
Hours: 24–28 hours per week across 4 days
