We are looking for an Administrator to join our UK Service delivery team in Scotland to cover maternity leave.

About the role

This role supports service delivery in Scotland, within our Services and Influencing Directorate. Service and Influencing delivers impact and change for people with arthritis through our support services of a helpline, online community and other digital tools, to our community delivery across our four nations so that people can connect and learn the tools to self-management and keep active. 

This role’s purpose is to deliver high quality and efficient administrative support to the Scotland Delivery team and to work alongside colleagues to support the delivery of their activities effectively.

About you

If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we’d love to hear from you:

• Experience of providing administrative support to a varied team, with experience gained through relevant work or life experience.
• Well organised and able to plan workload, using initiative to work proactively and able to work independently and with a wider team.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, and great people skills with ability to manage calls and communications confidentially and with tact and empathy for people with arthritis.
• Excellent working knowledge and experience of using Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and digital working skills including experience of using databases.
• A good understanding of the importance of Data Protection.
• Working to high levels of accuracy and with excellent attention to detail, maintaining up to date numerical data.

*As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.

We do not wish to receive contact from agencies or media sales.
