About us

There aren’t many organisations that can say they’ve been serving their community for over 550 years. Croydon Almshouses (CA) can and we’re proud to be the oldest charity in Croydon, rooted in a long-standing commitment to local people and place.

Since 1447, we’ve provided almshouse accommodation to older people with a connection to Croydon who are negatively affected by poverty. For the past 40 years, we’ve also awarded grants to voluntary, community and faith sector organisations, and individuals across the Borough.

Now, our focus is firmly on what comes next. Our vision is to create thriving communities where everybody can live with dignity and independence, using our resources and agility to reduce the impact of poverty on people in Croydon.

To help us deliver this, we’re recruiting a proactive and organised Administrator, who is a values-led team player, who demonstrates exceptional attention to detail and strong communication skills to support CA’s staff team to deliver on its ambitious objectives.

Essential criteria:

· Proven experience in a general administrative or office support role

· Experience managing multiple tasks, prioritising workloads and meeting competing deadlines

· Experience maintaining accurate records and handling confidential or sensitive information appropriately

· Experience communicating verbally and in writing effectively with a range of internal and external stakeholders

Interested?

If you are an experienced Administrator wanting to provide high level support at an ambitious local organisation, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now to become Croydon Almshouses’ next Administrator and help create thriving communities where people can live with dignity and independence.

Alongside this Administrator role, we are also recruiting for two other part-time roles: a Finance Assistant and an EA to the CEO. If you are interested in being considered for more than one role, please clearly state in your application which role(s) and hours you are applying for. Applicants shortlisted for more than one role will be interviewed for those roles on the same day.
