CHEIA Membership Officer

at  Loughborough University

CHEIA, the Council for Higher Education Internal Audit, was formed in September 1992 and has become the voice of internal audit in the Higher Education sector. We provide a network for our members – the individuals who deliver internal audit services to universities, whether they are staff within in-house teams, consortia or external firms, as well as institutional staff who liaise with internal auditors - for the promulgation of best practice and for professional development. Internal Audit is an important part of a university’s governance arrangements. It provides assurance to senior management, governing bodies, audit committees and external stakeholders (such as funding bodies) that key risks are being managed effectively. CHEIA is one of seven HE sector organisations sitting under the umbrella company, Professional HE Services (PHES). PHES have 40 employees working across the seven membership organisations.
We are looking for a Membership Officer to join our team and perform a crucial membership support role for our association. We are looking for someone who can work 0.4 fte, but there will be 2 weeks a year where we need the candidate to work full time, to support our main conference. Time off in lieu will be given.
The successful candidate will become an essential part of the team, providing administrative support to the CHEIA executive committee. Working closely with colleagues, you’ll need to work efficiently and with attention to detail, display excellent customer service skills, and relate well to members. You will help organise and run events, manage the database and update the website, and undertake other support tasks as required. We encourage candidates who wish to grow in the role, and who will be willing to take on more responsibility as skills are demonstrated.
The post-holder reports to the PHES Managing Director and has no line management responsibilities. This role will be home-based and include some UK travel and occasional overnight stays around key meetings and conferences.
CHEIA offers a competitive salary between £23,581 - £27,344 pro rata dependent on qualifications and experience. A defined contribution pension scheme is offered with 7.5% employee and 16% employer contribution rates, together with life insurance. We offer 30 days’ holiday pro rata plus bank holidays and discretionary days’ office closure. Support for CPD and appropriate training will be given.
We are committed to equality of opportunity, to eliminating discrimination and to creating an inclusive working environment for all. We therefore encourage candidates to apply irrespective of age, disability, marriage or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion and belief, gender identity, sex, or sexual orientation.
