Bollington, East Cheshire • £26,000 pro rata (approx. £20,800) • 30 hours per week • Permanent
This is a brilliant opportunity for an organised, people-oriented administrator who wants a varied role with real responsibility — at the heart of a globally respected organisation that genuinely invests in its people.
You’ll be joining the administration team at Adelphi Real World (ARW) — a global healthcare consultancy based in Bollington, East Cheshire, whose work shapes the understanding and treatment of diseases worldwide. Your focus will be on keeping things moving: coordinating travel for senior staff, managing logistics, and providing calm, efficient support to a busy, high-performing team.
This isn’t a back-office role. There’s no box-ticking, no micromanagement, no being buried in routine. It’s about being trusted, using your judgement, and taking real ownership of the things that matter — so that the people around you can focus on doing their best work.
What you’ll do
- Coordinate all travel arrangements for senior staff — flights, accommodation, ground transfers, hire cars, and e-ticket distribution — via the company’s booking platform
- Produce clear, accurate travel itineraries that people can rely on
- Monitor and track travel and conference budgets
- Process and reconcile expenses for senior team members
- Book meeting rooms and arrange catering for internal meetings
- Handle incoming phone and email queries professionally and efficiently
- Arrange post and deliveries, and greet visitors on reception from time to time
- Provide general administrative support within the scope of the role — and be ready to turn your hand to what’s needed
What you’ll need
- At least 2 years’ experience in an administration, EA, PA, or coordination role
- A track record of supporting senior stakeholders in a fast-paced environment
- Excellent organisational skills and the ability to re-prioritise quickly when things change
- Strong written and verbal communication — professional, warm, and appropriately assertive
- Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
- The composure to manage real complexity without letting it show
- A proactive mindset — you spot what needs doing and get on with it
Experience in travel booking or coordination is desirable but not essential — what counts is your willingness to get to grips with the systems and your instinct for doing the detail well.
