Service Administrator

About Battle Cancer Program

Battle Cancer Program is a charity that brings people together through fitness and community to raise money and awareness for people affected by cancer.

Our programs work with gyms and their communities to deliver fundraising programs that combine fitness, challenge and community.

We are looking for an organised and detail-focused Service Administrator to provide the systems, administration and data support that underpin the successful delivery of our programmes.

You will work closely with the Program Coordinator and Fundraising & Social Media Coordinator, helping to ensure that information flows effectively between program delivery, fundraising and communications.

This is an important role within the team. While the Program Coordinator will focus primarily on relationships and program delivery, the Program Administrator will ensure that the information, systems, records and administration behind the program are maintained to a high standard.

  • Maintain records of photographs, stories and other program content where required.

Team Support

  • Work closely with the Program Coordinator to ensure they have the information and administrative support required to manage the program effectively.

  • Work closely with the Fundraising & Social Media Coordinator to ensure program activity feeds into fundraising and communications.

  • Participate in regular team meetings and program reviews.

  • Ensure actions agreed during meetings are recorded and followed up.

  • Provide general administrative support to the program function.

Systems & Improvement

  • Identify opportunities to improve program administration and systems.

  • Help develop efficient processes and templates.

  • Ensure information is stored consistently and can be easily accessed by the relevant team members.

  • Support the development of systems that will allow the program to grow without creating unnecessary administrative workload.

Person Specification

Essential

  • Highly organised and methodical.

  • Excellent attention to detail.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

  • Confident using Microsoft Office/Google Workspace.

  • Comfortable working with spreadsheets and databases.

  • Able to manage competing priorities and deadlines.

  • Reliable and able to work independently.

  • Proactive approach to identifying and solving administrative problems.

  • Able to handle information appropriately and maintain confidentiality.

  • Good interpersonal skills and a willingness to work as part of a small team.

  • Experience with fundraising administration.

  • Experience coordinating events or programs.

  • Experience working with spreadsheets, databases or reporting systems.

  • Interest in fitness, sport or community-based programmes.

What we are looking for

We are looking for someone who is organised, reliable and proactive, with a real eye for detail.

You will be someone who enjoys making sure that information is correct, deadlines are met and the people around you have what they need to do their jobs effectively.

You will also be comfortable working in a small charity where everyone plays an important role and where you may be asked to turn your hand to different tasks.

Most importantly, you will understand that good administration is not simply paperwork — it is what allows a growing programme to operate effectively and demonstrate its impact.
