Local Authority Seeks Team Administrator with AN ENHANCED CRB CHECK WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. AS THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE WILL BE BASED IN A CONTACT CENTRE AND WILL HAVE ACCESS TO UNSUPERVISED CHILDREN.

The Family Resource Centre provides the contact service for this local Authority's Children's Service. Staff from the Centre supervise contact sessions for many of the children who are looked after, so that they can spend time with their birth relatives.
They are looking for an experienced and friendly administrator to provide cover for their team administrator post whilst the normal postholder is covering the maternity leave of another member of the team.

The role of the Team Administrator includes greeting service users and professionals visiting the building and dealing with their queries. It also includes a broad range of other administrative duties, such as answering the phones, ordering supplies and entering invoices onto the SAP system, liaising with contractors, undertaking day-to-day health and safety checks, gathering statistics on the contact service, managing the Imprest account and processing photographs. On occasions when the Contact Coordinator is not in, the Administrator assists in covering this role. You will not be required to do typing for other staff members.

A good knowledge of Excel, Microsoft and Outlook is essential for this post, as are skills in handling public contact (including people under stress). The office is a busy working environment, so the postholder needs to have good organisational skills and be able to multi-task. Knowledge of the EBP/SAP system and the handling of Imprest are desirable. Additionally, as a member of a small team, all contact team staff are involved in ensuring the smooth running and ongoing development of the service as a whole.

THIS POSITION IS FOR 3 DAYS A WEEK (WEDNESDAY - FRIDAY - 9:30AM - 5:45PM)
