This role will suit someone who enjoys working closely within a team, whilst also being autonomous and able to work independently. You will be good at proactively anticipating issues that may arise and enjoy problem-solving to overcome these issues. We are looking for someone who works efficiently and likes to get things running smoothly and efficiently.

You will need to have experience working in an administrative, operational or assistant role and be capable of planning and prioritising your workload. You will need to be comfortable working with Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel). You will need to be well organised, with strong written and verbal communication.

You will be working from the children's home, so you will need to be comfortable working in this environment. The children in the home have emotional and behavioural difficulties, so sometimes this will require flexibility and patience. If you have worked in a children's home or similar environment before that would be desirable, but it is not essential. It is important that the home has a family feel and an inclusive culture, and all staff are expected to play a key role in this.

It would be preferred, but not mandatory, if you possess a valid driver's license and are willing to drive the car provided by the children's home to transport the children to and from school, appointments, family visits, or any other necessary places from time to time
