We are looking for someone who holds the same values as Mencap and can provide day to day administrative support, including monitoring of both the office environment and the office phone lines, with an enthusiasm for developing digital ways of working.
(This is a short term, part time relief contract role and the hours can be worked flexibly over 3 to 4 days.)
This is a really varied administrative role supporting a team of Service Managers and Area Operations Managers, who manage services where we support people with a learning disability.
You will support in monitoring business processes by liaising with our HR, Payroll, Training, IT and Resourcing teams. Your role will include coordinating and reporting on information and data to provide support to the Service Managers and Area Operations Managers and indirectly as a result of that, the people that we support! You will deliver a high quality, efficient and professional level of customer service when it comes to supporting your management team.
You will be able to demonstrate proven experience of working within a pressured and fast paced administrative role. Flexible in your approach, you will have the ability to manage multiple tasks at any one time and prioritise your own workload.
You will have advanced computing skills in Microsoft Office packages, excellent verbal and written communication skills and experience in taking accurate minutes (speedwriting) in a pressurised setting.
You will be someone who is competent and self-motivated, with fantastic verbal and written communication skills.
If you tick the boxes below then we would love to hear from you:
When you join us you can access a number of development opportunities delivered by our award-winning Learning & Development team. In addition, we have a wide ranging benefits package including our pension scheme and ‘Mencap Extras’ which gives you access to cash back, discounts and benefits at high street stores, restaurants, cinemas, gyms and more.
If you are looking for that next exciting challenge then this could be the one you have been looking for, working with an organisation that ‘really makes a difference.’
Unfortunately, Mencap is unable to offer sponsorship for this position as the role is not eligible under the current skilled worker visa guidelines issued by the home office.
