Looking for a high-impact job in operations?
We are looking for a dynamic, adaptable, highly organised and conscientious generalist with high agency, to take on the challenge of maintaining our operations at CEEALAR (affectionately called the EA Hotel). We are a charity supporting EAs developing high impact careers through self-directed education and research.
We provide individuals with accommodation and food, along with a community of their peers, while they upskill towards professional roles or further study programmes. Grantees work on global catastrophic risk reduction, for example AI safety, biosecurity and pandemic preparedness.
What you’ll do
While you will be part of a small team, this remains a very self-directed role. The trustees will be at your disposal for advice and any support we can provide, but they all live elsewhere – so you’ll need a high level of autonomous dedication to the continuing success and development of the project.
You will ideally thrive in situations where you have many competing priorities on your time – ‘herd of cats’ doesn’t begin to describe a hotel full of effective altruists!
Responsibilities
We understand that moving to Blackpool can be a big change, but our centre is a diverse and lively place focused on both individual growth and solving pressing global problems. You can take a peek at your future coworkers here and grantee projects here.
Person specification
This position does not require any specific experience or qualifications, but knowing how to get things done is a must! Prior experience with of the following would be a nonessential bonus:
The ideal candidate will be service oriented, and excited to help forward the missions of our grantees. You’ll be living with the people in the hotel, so while you needn’t be a social butterfly (and should feel comfortable with taking alone time and setting boundaries when you need them), you should feel comfortable with regular social interactions.
Compensation and benefits
You will benefit from free vegan food and accommodation (a room with an en-suite bathroom), and earn a starting salary of £20,000 - £25,000 per year, depending on experience, to scale upward with the expansion of the project. This is a part time role: 25 hours a week across 4 days with 5.6 weeks paid holiday. This is a fixed term, 3 month role, which, funding permitting, has the potential to be extended. We also offer a budget of £500 every 6 months for equipment and training for staff.

This seems like a great opportunity. It is now live on the EA Opportunity Board!
