Job description
We are seeking a part-time administrator to join our team to help us manage an innovate cross-border project connecting young people at Portadown College with their peers in Loreto Community School in Donegal.
The project is supported through the International Fund for Ireland's 'Communities in Partnership' programme.
We are looking for a highly motivated and organised Office Administrator to perform a variety of administrative and clerical tasks associated with the successful delivery of a cross-border project funded by the International Fund for Ireland. The project will link Portadown College and Loreto College in Milford, Donegal as well as connecting both schools with their local communities. Duties of the Office Administrator include providing support to our Executive Director and Project Manager, assisting with record keeping, the preparation of reports and claims and other duties related to the successful administration of a small charity. The post holder will also work closely with our freelance Finance Manager.
Politics in Action (PiA) supports the civic animation of young people around issues that are important to them. We do this by providing issue-based programmes which are structured and designed for young people from different religious and socio-economic backgrounds to assist them to discuss and research the themes or problems which matter to them and to develop a project or campaign that addresses these issues.
Our aim is to support young people, schools, and youth organisations in the development of important social and political skills including research, understanding issues from multiple perspectives, team-work, listening, compromise and communication skills. In the process we want young people to understand their capacity and agency as engaged citizens. We see young people (regardless of their age) as citizens in the here and now rather than as ‘future citizens.’
