Would you like to be part of an award-winning children’s charity that makes a real difference every single day? Sebby’s Corner is growing, and we are looking for a highly organised, proactive Administrator & Hub Assistant to join our small, friendly team. This is a permanent, part-time role (24–28 hours per week across 4 days), perfect if you are looking for meaningful work that fits around family life, caring responsibilities or other commitments.

ABOUT SEBBY’S CORNER Sebby’s Corner is a Barnet-based charity supporting vulnerable families and children living in poverty across London and the South East. We support thousands of families every year with clothing, nappies, formula, school uniforms, birthday gifts and more. In 2024–25, we supported almost 4,000 children and over 2,300 parents, distributing £482,993 worth of essentials. Sebby’s Corner serves families in crisis, many of whom are experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic abuse, seeking asylum, or living in poverty. Referrals are made by frontline professionals including social workers, midwives, health visitors, and family support workers so we can ensure we are reaching the most vulnerable. We believe by meeting immediate material needs, we can help stabilise families, reduce stress, and improve the wellbeing of both parents and children.
