Red Balloons: Lead Administrator

Red Balloons is a lived experience charity offering people support with their mental health. Where we can support people to use physical activity to improve their mental and physical well-being.

Our volunteers use their lived experience of ill mental health, physical health conditions and difficult times to support members who attend our sessions. This peer support is offered through 1-1 and group sessions.

Monthly Red Balloons have around 250 attendees at our Walk and Talk Groups, and in 2024, we supported 385 individuals with their mental health. Engagement with our services is increasing, and we’re recruiting more volunteers; this does mean that the workload in the office is also increasing. We are, therefore, looking to add a Lead Administrator to our team who has finance experience.

As Lead Administrator, you will be responsible for:

• Entering financial transactions into our finance system (Xero)
• Using finance software to pull reports as required by the Ops Manager and CEO
• Produce a monthly report on attendees/interactions for the CEO
• Create and manage a contacts database
• Organise walk schedules on a weekly/monthly basis and ensure that all walks are covered
• Support volunteer recruitment administration
