Membership Officer
The Royal Society for Asian Affairs

Job Description

The RSAA has been changing rapidly in the last few years and you will be joining the team at an exciting time, as we approach our 125th anniversary in 2026.

Membership administration is the core of this diverse role and there is some scope to shape it to the strengths of the successful applicant.  You will be seen  by the members of the Society as their principal point of contact and the ability to build relationships with them will be important. Elements of financial administration, support to fundraising, publications and events will also be substantial parts of the job.  A full job description and person specification can be downloaded.

You will be joining a very small team.  Collaborative working is essential, as are meticulous attention to detail and the ability to work with relatively light supervision once settled into the role.  A flexible approach is also needed.  Some elements of the job are predictable, but many are not and consultation with others, a degree of creativity, and persistence will often be needed. 

This is a part-time role equivalent to three days per week.  You will work at our Covent Garden office at least one day per week, but remote working is also part of the way we operate and will be increasingly an option after your first few weeks in the role.

You will be comfortable using Microsoft Word and be familiar with other MS Office programmes.  Training can be provided on other software as needed. 

You must have the right to work in the UK.  We cannot provide sponsorship for work visas.

The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
