Finance and Data Administrator Closing date : 10am, Monday 18 May 2026 Salary : £27,000 per year Contract : Fixed-term contract until August 2029 Hours : Full-time, 35 hours per week Location : Based in London / home and flexible working Interviews : Online, Monday 1 June 2026 Our client empowers people with the skills they need to succeed in life. Together, they're helping people change their stories. You could join them as they work to ensure every primary school in the UK has a dedicated library space. What you'll be doing The government has committed to ensuring a library in every primary school in England by the end of this Parliament - a step that supports the aim to tackle the nation's steep decline in reading for pleasure. Our client will work to design the programme of delivery in England, whilst also continuing its mission to ensure every primary school in the whole of the UK has a dedicated library space to help create a strong reading for pleasure culture for its pupils. They are recruiting a Finance and Data Administrator who will support the delivery of this work. You will provide administrative support and work closely with Project Managers to deliver a nationwide programme. This will include working with the finance team and book fulfilment partner to support complex and large-scale procurement, reconciling finance records, and maintaining a contacts database and sales records. You will also support school recruitment and the delivery of training and develop and maintain administration systems and workflow processes, with support from the team. You will be contracted to our client's office in London, but this role is suitable for home and flexible working, with the majority of your work carried out from home if you would prefer. However, you will need to be available to travel to London for staff and team days, as well as to support project delivery and partnerships. This could be around a day a week on average, although at times it will be a lot less, and unfortunately, our client is unable to cover travel costs for this.

They're the key to knowledge, confidence and inspiration. They're better results at school, and better jobs. If children grow up without the tools to communicate, without books to read or opportunities to write, it's harder to get where you want to go. Our client helps people overcome these challenges and change their life chances through the power of words - reading, writing, speaking and listening. From first words, through school days to training, jobs and beyond. - They work collaboratively in local communities, focusing their work in areas of the UK that are facing the biggest challenges. - They support schools, developing the most effective tools and techniques and providing resources and programmes to engage and inspire children. - They campaign to make reading and writing a priority for politicians and decision-makers. - They support vulnerable adults, people in the criminal justice system and young offenders' institutions to build their skills. What our client offers you Their team are passionate about their mission and they have a strong and positive working culture, based on shared values and respect. They offer a range of flexible working options and promote a workplace where you can be yourself and contribute to the organisation's success, whoever you are. As well as a competitive salary, our client offers benefits including a generous leave allowance totalling 39 days (including bank holidays and office closure between Christmas and New Year), pension contributions of 8% of annual salary, a cycle to work scheme, employee assistance programme and other health and wellbeing benefits. Application details Our client's people are their most important asset, and they value and respect diversity in all its forms (seen and unseen). They particularly welcome applications from those from Black and Asian backgrounds, as well as candidates with disabilities and from the communities in which they work. They would like to increase representation of these groups among their staff as they know greater diversity will lead to an even greater impact for their work.
