A little bit about the role
This advert is expected to close on 28 August 5pm. However, we may close earlier or later depending on the success of applications.
The Recruitment team is responsible for sourcing, selecting and hiring for 500 places for Approach Social Work (previously known as the Frontline programme) in local authorities across England.
You will be joining us at our busiest time, and will have day to day logistical and administration responsibilities with focus on supporting applicants through the selection stages of our programme, Approach Social Work.
You will work with the Selection team and share responsibilities between other Selection Coordinators to ensure the delivery of a highly effective and efficient recruitment process and to ensure the candidate experience is positive throughout. This role would suit someone who has had some experience interacting with customers, for example in admin support, retail, hospitality, customer service, or similar.
Please note that ‘Administrator’ is the title we use for advertising. Internally, administrators are known as ‘Coordinators’ so this role’s full title is Selection Coordinator.
Some key responsibilities include:
- Coordinating virtual assessment centres; manage scheduling, liaising with assessors and stakeholders, troubleshooting minor technical issues with the platform, and overseeing the smooth running of the day.
- Managing the logistics involved in planning and delivering over 40 assessment centre days (e.g. responding to candidate queries, monitoring candidate sign up, scheduling assessors).
- Tracking and monitoring candidate information using our online customer relationship management system, virtual assessment platform and Microsoft Excel using careful attention to detail.
Please review the job pack for full list of responsibilities.
A little bit about you
We welcome applicants with some experience in customer service, administration, or logistics coordination. We’re looking for someone who is detail-oriented and excels at managing multiple tasks and priorities. The ideal candidate will be a strong communicator who can support candidates through the selection process, troubleshoot technical issues, and ensure smooth operations at assessment centers.
We have a fast-moving culture within the team and organisation, so we’re looking for someone who is who is well organised, details-focused and can use their initiative to do what works. You will have excellent communication skills, be able to build relationships with people and be willing to learn. There are lots of opportunities for growth and development in this role – and for the right candidate to make the role their own.
If you feel you have the skills to make a real impact and contribute to creating lasting social change for children and families, we would love to hear from you.
Important information
We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater racialised minority representation in our senior roles. We know the value racialised minority voices bring and therefore, we are strongly encouraging applicants from these backgrounds to apply. We are also a disability confident employer and welcome applicants with disabilities.
Please let us know how we can make the recruitment process more accessible for you by emailing the People team (please see job pack for contact details).
We recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) such as ‘ChatGPT’ etc can be useful for applicants e.g. to shorten an initial draft, so we do not attempt to have an absolute ban on AI in applications. However we would caution applicants not to rely too much on AI in drafting answers to application questions. We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you. You are more likely to be able to produce that kind of content yourself than an AI will.
We reserve the right to close this role ahead of the deadline once we reach a suitable number of applications, so please apply as soon as you can!

Glasgow’s Helping Heroes (GHH) is based in the Pearce Institute in Glasgow, and operates as a partnership between SSAFA and Glasgow City Council to be a trusted source of support for serving personnel, veterans and their families in their time of need.
About the role
As a Housing Advisor at GHH, you’ll play a vital role in delivering high-quality, person-centred housing support to veterans at risk of homelessness. You’ll provide advice, casework, and tenancy sustainment services, ensuring each client receives tailored support that meets their individual needs. From triaging new enquiries to managing a diverse caseload, you’ll be at the frontline of our mission to prevent homelessness and promote housing stability within the Armed Forces community.
You’ll work closely with local authorities, housing providers, and third-sector organisations to deliver joined-up support, particularly through the Council’s Housing Options approach. Your role will involve regular liaison with external stakeholders and you’ll represent GHH in forums that shape housing policy and practice. You’ll also contribute to the planning and delivery of housing-specific projects, helping to develop innovative solutions to complex housing challenges.
You will play a vital role in advocating for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, working to ensure their voices are heard and their rights upheld. This position requires a strong sense of social justice and a desire to see each case resolved positively. You will be expected to navigate Glasgow’s complex housing systems, challenge barriers to access, and collaborate with partners to deliver sustainable solutions that promote dignity, stability, and inclusion for those most in need.
This is a dynamic and rewarding role where no two days are the same. You’ll gain valuable experience in multi-agency working, safeguarding, and crisis intervention, while developing your skills in case management and project delivery. Whether you’re looking to deepen your housing expertise or take the next step in your career, this role offers a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of those who’ve served.
About the team
GHH provides a single point of contact through a gateway model, enhancing local access to a wide range of services. These include support with financial matters, housing and homelessness, employability, and more. The team currently operates from their office in Govan, with the flexibility to work remotely one day per week. Outreach work is also carried out across the city to ensure wider community engagement.
The GHH team works closely with a broad network of internal and external partners, including local SSAFA branches and the Scottish Support Office, Citizens Advice Scotland, Veterans Housing Scotland, Erskine Veterans Village, Scottish Veterans Residences, and Defence Medical Welfare Services.
About you
This is a dynamic and rewarding position suited to someone who is proactive, compassionate, and committed to making a difference in the lives of the Armed Forces community. As a Housing Advisor, you’ll need to be motivated, enthusiastic, and creative, with strong organisational skills and the initiative to manage your own workload. Integrity and a commitment to doing the right thing are essential, as is the ability to anticipate challenges and think flexibly about how best to support our beneficiaries through housing-related issues.
While an understanding of the Armed Forces community and the wider third sector is desirable, what matters most is your ability to demonstrate the same outstanding qualities as our current team: strong communication skills, a collaborative spirit, and a genuine desire to support others. Your experience may come from professional or voluntary role in housing, homelessness prevention, or tenancy sustainment. Ideally, you will hold a CIH Level 3 qualification in Housing Practice.
You’ll manage a varied caseload, offering holistic, person-centred support across the housing and homelessness spectrum. This includes helping clients navigate housing options, liaising with local authorities and landlords, and supporting individuals through the eviction process. You’ll use your knowledge of housing pathways and tenancy rights to advocate effectively and ensure beneficiaries receive timely and appropriate support. Strong communication and problem-solving skills will be essential as you work with clients facing complex and often urgent housing challenges.
This role offers the chance to make a meaningful impact every day, helping veterans and their families secure safe, stable housing and rebuild their lives with dignity.
