Permanent post (following a probationary period)

Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) is seeking a new Office 
Manager to join its Lancaster-based team.

SGR is a small but influential research and campaign organisation that 
promotes science, design and technology that contribute to peace, social 
justice, and environmental sustainability. It has a membership of about 
1000 natural and social scientists, engineers, IT professionals and 
architects.

We are seeking a self-motivated and conscientious individual to run our 
office and support the organisation's Executive Director, Stuart 
Parkinson. The main tasks will include financial administration, 
maintaining the membership database, assisting the Director to organise 
the annual conference, and general office oversight. The post will 
include recruitment and management of volunteers to assist with tasks 
such as postal mailings and administration. The work pattern would be 
negotiable, and there would be a six-month probationary period.

SGR will shortly be moving into Halton Mill, an eco-renovated office 
space near Lancaster (part of the award-winning Lancaster Cohousing 
project).
