Tribe Porty
affect studio is seeking a part-time Administrative Assistant to join our team from August/September 2025. The role would be for 8 hours per week, potentially split over two 4-hour shifts, but this can be discussed. The tasks would range from filing transactions in our accounting software and drafting invoices, to handling payroll, VAT, and pension submissions. There’s also some general office admin involved, including keeping supplies stocked and managing annual subscription renewals.

Our practice is based in Tribe Porty, a community co-working and creative events space in the Edinburgh seaside suburb of Portobello, where we hold a permanent office space. We benefit from being part of a collection of social entrepreneurs, freelancers, charities, SMEs and enterprises. You can read more about Tribe at tribeporty.org
