Project Coordinator / Operations Assistant – New Role at ASIF
Remote | £38,000–£40,000 | Full-time | Fixed-term (18 months, potential extension to 4 years)
Join ASIF, working to improve the lives of people living with inflammatory arthritis worldwide.
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a painful, lifelong inflammatory condition affecting around 1 in 150 people. Despite this, awareness remains low and diagnosis is often delayed.
ASIF brings together 60 patient organisations across 48 countries to raise awareness, strengthen patient voices and improve understanding of axSpA globally. We are a small, fully remote team who care deeply about the work we do and about working supportively and collaboratively with one another.
We are now looking for an organised, proactive and thoughtful Project Co-ordinator/ Operations Assistant to help us deliver a major international online research study, while also supporting our wider activities.
This is an opportunity to be part of something meaningful – research that will help shape advocacy, awareness and understanding for people living with inflammatory arthritis around the world.
The Role
Your time will be split approximately:
- 70–80% supporting an ambitious international research project
- 20–30% supporting ASIF’s wider operations
You will work closely with our Project Manager, international member organisations and scientific partners to support all stages of the study, from set-up and ethics submissions through to recruitment, reporting and sharing findings globally.
Alongside this, you’ll help with events, communications and general organisational support, because in a small team, we all contribute where needed.
About You
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has experience supporting research projects (ideally in healthcare or epidemiology)
- Is highly organised and comfortable managing detailed documentation
- Communicates clearly and confidently in English
- Is proactive, reliable and solutions-focused
- Is comfortable working remotely and independently
- Enjoys collaborating with people from different countries and cultures
- Understands what it means to work in a small organisation; flexible, supportive and hands-on
Most importantly, you’ll be someone who takes pride in doing careful, thoughtful work that contributes to real-world impact.
