Are you highly organised, tech-savvy, and great with people? Do you enjoy being at the centre of smooth-running meetings, events, and IT systems? If so, we’d love to hear from you. 

The Nuffield Foundation is looking for an AV and Information Systems Coordinator to take a lead role in managing our AV meeting and events environment and providing vital first-line systems support.  

In this role you’ll work closely with the colleagues across the Foundation to ensure the seamless delivery of hybrid, online, and in-person events. You will also support the wider Information Systems team (and work with an outsourced IT provider) to manage and improve key systems like Office 365 and SAP Concur, while assisting with user support and project coordination. 

We're seeking someone with excellent organisational and communication skills, strong IT literacy, and a proactive, calm approach to problem-solving. Experience with AV systems or IT support is desirable, with a willingness to learn being of most importance. 

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a mission-driven organisation committed to improving social well-being. 

Please note that due to the nature of this role we require candidates to be able to work from our offices in Farringdon – home working will only be on an occasional/ad hoc basis.
