Work where it matters most, achieve what matters more  

Be part of a team where passion meets purpose, as we work together where the challenge is greatest, to change to lives and build the futures of children and young people. 

We are looking for a highly organised and proactive Programme Delivery Administrator to join our Professional Development (PD) team on a full-time basis. This role is essential in supporting the smooth delivery of our OAT PD programme, ensuring all systems, events, and processes run seamlessly. The role will require travel to our Birmingham office and to events or academies across the Trust as needed.

In this role you will work closely with programme leads, professional development specialists, and external partners to maintain key knowledge repositories, support high‑quality training events, and keep our programme data accurate and up to date. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy variety in your day-to-day work, and have a passion for operational excellence, we’d love to hear from you.

You’ll also be at the heart of our event delivery. From coordinating venues and contributors to preparing resources, organising catering, and ensuring every detail is in place, you’ll help create seamless, high‑quality training experiences. On the day—whether in‑person or online—you’ll be right there supporting setup, AV equipment, registers, and troubleshooting anything that comes your way.

Your strong communication skills will shine as you manage our PD inboxes, respond quickly to queries, and build relationships with external partners. Behind the scenes, you’ll keep participant and programme data in perfect shape, support reporting for evaluation and compliance, and monitor departmental spend through raising POs and processing invoices.

This role offers a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact across our organisation.
