Administrator- 6 Month Contract
Join us in making a real difference every day

Are you the kind of person who loves to keep things running smoothly while supporting a team that truly changes lives? We’re looking for an organised, caring and proactive Administrator to join our friendly team at our children’s homes based in Wingrave & Leighton Buzzard.

This is not your average admin role. You’ll be right at the heart of our operations, making sure everything from recruitment and payroll to health and safety and training runs like clockwork. No two days will ever be quite the same, and you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that your work helps our teams deliver life-changing support to the people who need it most.

What you’ll be doing
You’ll take ownership of a wide variety of administrative tasks, including:

Carrying out health and safety audits and maintaining key records.
Supporting the people we support and helping them with any queries when they visit the office.
Organising recruitment activities - from requesting advert posting and arranging interviews to preparing offer letters and processing checks.
Ensuring new starters are ready to hit the ground running with access to systems, training and all the right paperwork.
Keeping records of staff holidays, absences and payroll details up to date.
Attending meetings to take minutes and circulate key information to managers and teams.
Managing local financial processes, including petty cash and expenditure forms.
Supporting with service returns and helping to keep our training records and staffing information current.

What we’re looking for
You’ll be someone who thrives on variety, takes pride in accuracy and enjoys being that dependable go-to person others can rely on. You’ll be confident using IT systems, comfortable handling confidential information, and above all, you’ll bring warmth, positivity and professionalism to everything you do.

If you’re someone who believes that great admin keeps everything and everyone connected, then we’d love to hear from you.

Why join us?
You’ll be part of a team that’s compassionate, dedicated and full of personality. We take our work seriously, but we also believe in enjoying what we do. You’ll have the chance to develop your skills, work alongside supportive colleagues, and play a key part in helping others live their best lives.

So, if you’re ready to bring order, energy and heart to a role where no day is dull- apply today.

Please note, we are currently unable to offer sponsorship as we await further guidance from the Home Office. Applications requiring sponsorship cannot be considered at this time. We appreciate your understanding.
