Objective
Beaver Trust’s main strategic focus is on beaver restoration in Britain. However, where capacity and funding allows us, we use our team’s restoration experience and knowledge to aid important overseas projects. Currently, it is not efficient for the administration of these overseas projects to be undertaken by our highly experienced restoration team, and a more effective approach is required.
Summary of services required
Beaver Trust is looking to secure an experienced administrator to aid our restoration team in the format of administrative support for multiple overseas projects. This administrator will be responsible for the coordination of multiple stages of overseas project work, from setting up initial scoping calls within country teams to coordinating feedback to funders and handling invoices.

You will be a highly organised individual who holds experience with databases, Microsoft Office and Google Suite and have a practical knowledge of adhering to GDPR regulations and company policies. You should also hold strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work constructively both independently and as part of a small team.
