Events and Training Coordinator

3 weeks ago


Saffron Walden, United Kingdom National Council for the Training of Journalists Full time

The National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) is looking for an enthusiastic co-ordinator to join its Journalism Skills Academy and events teams.

The NCTJ is the media industry’s training charity, a professional body, awarding organisation and training provider for journalists.

There will be an opportunity to assist with the ongoing development of online training materials so an aptitude and interest in digital skills will be a real advantage too. You’ll also be involved in administering our events and awards.

The enthusiasm and commitment to be a successful member of our dedicated team and a positive approach are also really important to us.

In return for your hard work, we provide a competitive salary, a great team-working culture and help to develop your skills and experience.

**Key responsibilities**

Reporting to the head of our Journalism Skills Academy and communications manager, the main areas of responsibility are:

- To coordinate, administer and sell NCTJ distance learning programmes, training courses, masterclasses, events and resources (including e-learning courses, webinars, interactive quizzes, static resources and in-person seminars).
- To be the main point of contact for training, events and distance learning queries and to provide administrative support for learners with their studies.
- provide planning, administrative and logístical support for NCTJ events.
- To administer NCTJ awards and prizes, including liaison with judges and sponsors, and shortlisted students and journalists.
- To assist with projects and to support the work of the head of the JSA and the communications manager.

**About you**

The NCTJ is looking for someone with the confidence and skills to administer our events, training and awards. You must be able to plan ahead, be thorough and have an excellent eye for detail - and you must also be able to think on your feet. You will bring creative new ideas to the team and be able to multi-task, prioritise and work efficiently to tight deadlines.

Good administrative and IT experience is vital but we don’t expect you to know everything. We are looking for someone who has a positive and proactive attitude and an ability to learn quickly and work efficiently.

Experience with Moodle - or a similar e-learning platform - is an advantage but not a prerequisite. You will have a friendly and professional manner in communicating with learners, tutors and the NCTJ team. You will be responsible for processing learner orders and taking bookings so understanding customer needs is vital.

In terms of progression in the role, although this is a six-month contract to cover maternity leave, for the right job holder there may be opportunities to work in other areas of the charity.

All staff at the NCTJ must have an excellent standard of English and good writing ability as well as digital and IT skills.

**Benefits**

This six-month fixed-term, full-time post attracts an annual salary of c£25,000 (depending on experience).

Other financial benefits include a five per cent employer pension contribution, life insurance, company bonus scheme and 25 days of holiday.

There are staff events and personal development training opportunities and a great working environment. The job is based at our lovely offices in the North Essex village of Newport near Saffron Walden. We promote work-life balance and support staff who have family responsibilities and particular needs.
