Who we are: VIVO provides facilities management and accommodation maintenance for the UK military and its partners. VIVO embodies both experience and innovation.
What we do: We put our Customers and Families First. They are the driving force behind everything we do. We drive forward improvements for them to ensure the service they receive, whether reactive repairs or a major project, is completed safely and on time. In order to achieve this, we have 4 core values: open, caring, agile and collaborative. These are at the heart of everything we do.
Be the Organised Force Behind Operational Excellence
Are you a proactive, detail‑driven professional who thrives on keeping things running smoothly? Do you take pride in being the reliable, calm presence that makes everything happen behind the scenes?
We’re looking for an enthusiastic Administrator to join our team at Duke of Gloucester Barracks. This is more than just an administrative role — it’s an opportunity to play a pivotal part in supporting service delivery, driving efficiency, and helping us meet our commitments with professionalism and precision.
If you’re highly organised, confident communicating with a wide range of stakeholders, and motivated by making a tangible impact every day, we want to hear from you.
The Role
As Administrator, you will provide comprehensive administrative support, ensuring that daily activities are coordinated seamlessly and professionally. You will be raising job packs, issuing job packs, booking contractors, arranging escorts, raising purchase orders and other administrative activities. This includes scanning and printing materials as required and responding promptly and courteously to digital and telephone queries.
You will prepare reports as directed by management and produce accurate meeting minutes, agendas and action logs to ensure clear communication and accountability. A key part of the role involves managing electronic and hard‑copy filing systems in line with Quality Management Systems, maintaining high standards of organisation and compliance.
In addition, you will provide administrative support to other departments when required and play an active role in promoting a culture of excellent customer service aligned with company objectives and values. You will also plan, organise and coordinate internal and external meetings, events and accommodation arrangements as requested.
What We’re Looking For
We are seeking a candidate with previous admin experience, preferably with a background in facilities management.
You will have a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications and hold a full UK driving licence as this site is not accessible by public transport.
