Business Administrator
Permanent | Hybrid | Warrington | £30,177
Are you a highly organised administrator who enjoys bringing structure to busy environments, building strong relationships, and helping teams perform at their best? Do you thrive when juggling multiple priorities, coordinating activity behind the scenes, and being the person others rely on to keep things running smoothly?
We're looking for a Business Administrator to join our Work Management Network team, providing high-quality support to senior leaders within a fast-paced and operationally focused environment. This is a fantastic opportunity to become a trusted partner to key stakeholders, gain exposure to a broad range of business activities, and develop your skills within a collaborative and supportive team.
Working alongside a team of experienced Business Administrators, you'll support a portfolio of around five to six senior leaders, helping them stay organised, informed, and focused on delivering for our customers. No two days are the same. From coordinating meetings and events to preparing business-critical documentation and responding to changing priorities, you'll play an important role in keeping the team running efficiently.
This is a hybrid role, with a minimum of three days per week based at our Lingley Mere office in Warrington, offering a great balance of collaboration, flexibility, and variety.
What You'll Be Doing
- Providing proactive administrative support to a portfolio of senior leaders, managing competing priorities and responding to changing business needs.
- Coordinating meetings, events, travel, accommodation, and logistics, ensuring everything runs efficiently from planning through to delivery.
- Attending leadership, HR, and Trade Union meetings, capturing accurate notes, actions, and decisions, while producing and distributing professional documentation.
- Preparing and maintaining high-quality business materials, including agendas, reports, presentations, briefing packs, and meeting minutes.
- Supporting the planning and delivery of workshops, engagement activities, and team events, working closely with internal stakeholders and Executive Secretaries.
- Raising purchase orders, processing employee recognition awards, and providing administrative support across a range of business processes.
- Collaborating with fellow Business Administrators to provide seamless support across the wider team and contribute to a customer-focused working environment.
