As a new member admin assistant you will be the first point of contact for our new members, many of whom may have been recently berieved. Your role will include processing new online applications in line with our policies and procedures. In addition, responding to queries from members and non members alike. You will be part of a small but dedicated team, working on a rota basis, possibly one week in three.

About Embark2

embark2 aims to provide support for anyone who has experienced the loss of a partner and provides opportunities so that they can start the process of remaking their life. embark2 is there to help you whether you have been recently bereaved or bereaved some time ago, regardless of age, gender, race, religion or orientation. We all experience loss differently and embark2 is a place for you to find peer to peer support and meet others who understand what it means to have lost their partner and who are faced with the challenge of trying to rebuild their lives. embark2 provides opportunities to meet up by providing weekends away and holidays, where we can share our experiences of grief in a safe environment, receive and provide support to fellow members, have a place to make sense of our new life and deal with the feelings of guilt which are so often present when we embark on the process of living again. All holidays organised by embark2 are offered on a not-for-profit basis.
