British Cartographic Society Administrator Contract

Following the early termination of our current administrator contract due to family issues, the BCS wishes to appoint a replacement to start in the New Year.


This varied role is part time, typically between 12 and 18 hours a week, and would suit someone with previous admin or bookkeeping experience, but there is no need for any knowledge of the cartographic industry.


The role is to provide all the bookkeeping, membership and event support required by the Treasurer and the Membership, Programme and Publication teams. A full list of tasks is given below.


Anyone doing the work is not employed by the Society and under the terms of the contract is responsible for their own taxes, pension etc. The contract is let for a three-year term, with an annual value of between £12,000 and £15,000.


Please submit a CV and covering letter to:


Ros Derby

Administrator, BCS

 

If you would like to discuss the role and your suitability, please contact:

 

Dr Seppe Cassettari

President BCS

 

The closing deadline for applications is 21st December 2023. We will hold virtual interviews during the week of the 2nd January, with a view to letting the contract from the 8th January 2024.


Please forward this to anyone you think might be interested.
