About You
You are someone who brings order to chaos, calm to busy days and kindness to every interaction. You understand that great admin is more than keeping things tidy – it is the backbone of a service that supports young people when they need it most. You care about getting things right, and you take pride in work that supports others to thrive.
You will bring:
* NVQ Level 3 in Business Administration or equivalent
* Experience working in a busy office or customer service environment
* Excellent IT skills, including confidence with spreadsheets and databases
* Strong organisation and time management, even when priorities shift
* Accuracy and attention to detail in everything you do
* The ability to stay calm under pressure and juggle competing demands
* Warm, clear and professional communication skills
* Confidence working independently while also being a great team player
* A positive, flexible mindset and a commitment to problem solving
* A willingness to travel locally and support team delivery wherever needed
You might also bring experience with data reporting, social media, or using digital tools in a service setting. But more than anything, we are looking for someone who is
friendly, dependable and motivated by purpose
– someone who wants to work in a team where
your contribution matters and your values guide your work
.
If you are ready to bring your admin skills into a role that supports real change for children and families, this is your opportunity. Be part of a team that cares.
