At Etio, projects only succeed when the detail is right. That’s where this role comes in.

We’re looking for a Project Administrator to support the delivery of one of our flagship programmes, the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM). It’s a role for someone who genuinely enjoys keeping things running smoothly, spotting what’s missing before it becomes a problem, and making sure people feel supported along the way.

If you like variety, ownership, and being quietly essential to a team’s success, this might be your thing.

As Project Administrator, you’ll provide high-quality administrative support across a range of activities, from recruitment and event coordination to finance processes, data validation, and stakeholder communication. You’ll be trusted to manage competing priorities, handle sensitive information with care, and keep everything accurate, up to date, and on track.

The NCETM is delivered on behalf of the Department for Education and works closely with Maths Hubs across England to improve maths teaching and leadership. That means what you do here actually matters, even on the days when it’s spreadsheets and inboxes.

• Supporting recruitment processes and maintaining accurate recruitment data
• Validating and reporting data in line with Maths Hubs network deadlines and GDPR requirements
• Processing project finance tasks, including POs and invoices
• Tracking accreditation and endorsement records
• Creating and distributing surveys, monitoring completion, and sharing results
• Uploading and managing post‑event resources, including editing and publishing recordings
• Supporting system development and testing, helping improve tools and processes
• Opening and supporting online events, including Zoom session management
• Working flexibly across the team, providing cover and support during busy periods or staff absence

We care a lot about how work gets done, not just that it gets done.

• You make every day count, delivering high-quality work with focus and ownership
• You use judgement, discretion, and consistency, even when things move quickly
• You communicate clearly and respectfully, building strong relationships across teams and partners
• You’re flexible, supportive, and happy to pitch in when needed

In this role, success means:

• Events delivered seamlessly, with participants well supported
• Accurate attendance and engagement data that supports reporting and certification
• Strong working relationships across Etio, NCETM, and partner organisations
• Up-to-date workflows, trackers, and documentation
• Risks and issues spotted early and escalated clearly
• Deadlines met consistently, building confidence across stakeholders

• At least 1 year’s experience in business, data, or events administration
• Strong academic or vocational background
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail
• Experience managing competing priorities and deadlines
• Confidence working independently without close supervision
• Advanced Office 365 skills, especially Excel
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication
• Discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive information
• A proactive, problem‑solving mindset
• Business administration qualification (Level 3 or above)
