  • Relief Area Administrator (London or Surrey)

    About the role

    We are looking for someone who shares Mencap’s values and can provide high-quality administrative support, with enthusiasm for developing digital ways of working.

    Working pattern

    This home-based role offers flexible hours, which can be worked over 3–4 days per week.

    This role is initially for 3-4 months to work on a specific project. As a relief role, work cannot be guaranteed after this point.

    Key responsibilities

    The administrative team provides support to Service Managers and Area Operations Managers who manage services for people with a learning disability.  The role includes working with confidential digital files held in SharePoint and contributing to effective administrative processes.

    About you

    • You will have proven experience in a busy, fast-paced administrative role.
    • You will be flexible in your approach, able to manage several tasks at once and prioritise your own workload effectively.
    • You will be competent, self-motivated and confident working without close supervision.
    • You will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to lead on projects when required.
    • You will have advanced Microsoft Office skills and experience of supporting or working on projects.

    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.

  • Benefits

  • Flexibility to work the hours you choose 

    Annual leave entitlement based on hours accrued 

    Ongoing training and development opportunities to enhance your skills. 

    A supportive and inclusive work environment where your contributions are valued. 

    For more details on what we have to offer, please see the attached document and below link with all the fantastic benefits available to you as a member of our team!
