• Helping improve the way we work by developing new processes, supporting service improvements and finding practical solutions to everyday challenges.
• Supporting in incident response and reporting including being a Designated Safeguarding Lead
• Working closely with colleagues, families and professionals to ensure our services remain organised, responsive and centred around the needs of our students.

About you

We're looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership, thrives in a busy environment and genuinely loves making things happen.

You'll be someone who:

• Is highly organised and naturally keeps lots of moving parts on track.
• Enjoys improving systems and finding better ways of working.
• Builds positive relationships with ease and communicates confidently with a wide range of people.
• Can balance attention to detail with seeing the bigger picture.
• Is calm under pressure, practical in approach and diligent in follow up
• Able to maintain high levels of confidentiality – discrete and professional, with previous experience of supporting HR administration (whilst a formal qualification is not essential)
• Shares our commitment to inclusion, dignity and providing outstanding support for people with learning disabilities.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to be part of a charity that is ambitious, creative and constantly evolving. You'll have the chance to shape the way our services operate, providing a supportive backbone to our everyday operations, and working alongside a passionate team who genuinely care about making a difference.

If you're looking for a role where you'll have real responsibility, plenty of variety and the opportunity to see the impact of your work every day, we'd love to hear from you.

Alongside a rewarding role, we provide a range of benefits to support your wellbeing and work-life balance. These include enhanced annual leave, access to an Employee Assistance Programme, and a staff benefits platform with discounts on shopping and everyday costs. We also embrace a casual dress code to help you feel comfortable at work.

Ready to apply?

If you're exceptionally organised, enjoy working with people, and improving processes we’d love to hear more about how you could play a key role in changing people’s lives with a role at the Baked Bean Charity.
