You will enjoy getting things organised and keeping the fundraising function running smoothly. You’ll have a good awareness of the things that we need to keep on top of regularly and be able to anticipate what’s going to be needed next. You’ll get to work with the wider team, be good with systems and have a great eye for detail.
You will enjoy working in a supportive, busy and fun environment, and will care about creating the best possible opportunities for the children and young people we work with.
This post would suit applicants with strong administrative skills, looking for part-time work. Your experience could be from arts or school administration, charity, local authority, small business, college or university.

Ministry of Stories champions the writer in every child. Co-founded by author Nick Hornby in 2010, we help young people discover their confidence, imagination and potential through the power of their writing. We develop self-respect and communication skills through innovative writing programmes and small group mentoring for children living in under-resourced communities, working in schools, and at our dedicated writing centre in east London.
We empower young people to write brighter futures for themselves through the power of their ideas, creativity and imagination. Inspired by San Francisco’s 826 Valencia, you’ll find us hidden behind our own fantastical shop Hoxton Street Monster Supplies, which has been serving London’s monster population (and the occasional human) since 1818. All proceeds from our monstrous offerings such as Cubed Earwax and Thickest Human Snot go back to support our work with young people.
