Do you have a demonstrable understanding of administrative support processes and good practice and a real desire to develop as part of an inclusive and supportive team at one of Britain’s leading housing charities? Then join Shelter as an Administrator - Shop Support Team and you could soon be fulfilling your ambition.
A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change — with individuals, in communities, across society – and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

The first point of contact for staff, customers and supporters, you’ll also be responsible for all aspects of the shop supplies orders process - from price checking to placing orders. And, when it comes to finance or new goods admin – stuff like processing invoices, raising new product codes or assisting with stock takes, again we’ll count on you. Ensuring new shops have the necessary supplies and signage, maintaining till number records, updating spreadsheets and managing the shop’s online handbook – all are aspects of this interesting, varied and vital support role
About you
To succeed, you’ll need a background in admin, excellent communication and time management skills and a proven ability to work across a range of tasks simultaneously while maintaining strong attention to detail. You’ll also need a proactive approach, lots of initiative and a flair for solving problems, completing task and overcoming obstacles. The ability to respond quickly and positively to change is important too, as is a willingness to challenge the status quo and introduce new ideas, methods or processes where appropriate.

Why do we need this role?
Müllers exists today to “Strengthen the Church to meet the needs of the vulnerable.” In all we do, we work to help Christians use their skills and influence for the benefit of the most disadvantaged people of our world. We do this through training, resourcing, praying, teaching, networking, mentoring and inspiring. None of this is possible without clear, helpful, effective, robust, honouring and proactive administration happening behind the scenes. In fulfilling the role of bookkeeper and administrator, you will play a key role of ensuring the internal health of Müllers is strong, therefore enabling those in need to experience the hope, love and wholeness on offer in Jesus.
Overview of role
As part of the Operations Team, you will be responsible for managing the records of our financial activities, carrying out routine bookkeeping tasks and following our financial processes to ensure the smooth running of the charity. In addition to this, you will be responsible for other important administrative tasks such as organising meetings, minute taking, events and reception duties.
Our work
Last year, Müllers resourced 228 global partners through prayer and donating £1.4 million as they met the practical, financial, spiritual and health needs of the most vulnerable of our world. We taught a free, year long theology course to 22 students to inspire their faith and strengthen their minsitry. We equipped 49 youthworkers to engage with young people in Bristol. We saw record numbers visit our museum, we hosted workshops on caring for the elderly and mentored church leaders, all so we can continue to pursue George Müller's vision, "that it may be seen that God is faithful still and hears prayers still." Would you consider joining us to make future years even better?
