About Us:

At Friction Arts, we ignite creativity and inspire community through innovative arts programming. As a dynamic non-profit arts organization, we are committed to fostering artistic expression, supporting local artists, and enriching the cultural fabric of our community. We believe in the power of the arts to transform lives and bring people together.

Overview:

We're looking for a Company Administrator to join the team here at Friction Arts. We deliver community-focused arts projects, and this role is essential for supporting the ambitious expansion of work we have planned over the next few years. We're looking for someone to support all things admin for the core team. It's important to us that Friction's team reflects the communities we serve and therefore we particularly welcome applicants from the global majority and D/deaf & disabled communities as these groups are not as well represented in the arts as we'd like.

Key Responsibilities:

? Carry out Friction administration, such as responding to enquiries, ordering and receiving goods, data entry and management, and welcoming people to the Edge.

? Act as Friction's first point of contact for external stakeholders and its network of artists.

? Be accountable for Friction's online and offline filing system, documenting and maintaining key records, and ensuring its accessibility to appropriate staff.

? Support the Friction Team, managing diaries, and organising meetings, travel, accommodation, tickets, correspondence & expense claims, and taking minutes at team meetings.

? Support the Friction team to carry out policies, procedures and guidance, and review systems where needed, making sure the Friction office runs smoothly.

? Support the Bookkeeper to ensure effective financial management across Friction, including writing contracts, submitting invoices, raising orders, and processing expenses.

? Assist the Building Manager in housekeeping tasks related to the delivery of our programme and the hire of our venue, the Edge, including responding to inquiries, creating hire agreements and keeping the room hire calendar up to date.

? Provide customer service and monitor our Home Education programme email address, ensuring queries are addressed promptly, generate agreements for parents and marketing on social media.

? Provide marketing support, including posting on social media and generating marketing materials on Canva, and arranging professional printing.
