Overview
Front of House / Administrator
The first welcome can shape everything that follows.
Walking into a drug and alcohol service can feel like a significant step. As our Front of House / Administrator, you’ll make sure everyone entering our Croxteth Hub is welcomed with warmth, compassion and dignity.
You’ll be a trusted first point of contact, creating a calm, safe and inclusive environment where people feel listened to, respected and supported without judgement.
The opportunity
This is more than a traditional reception or administration role.
- Combine excellent front-of-house support with meaningful service user engagement, helping people feel confident about accessing treatment and connecting them with the right support.
- Welcome visitors, respond to initial enquiries, coordinate appointments and help manage the flow of a busy service.
- Handle incoming calls, maintain accurate and confidential records, update databases and make sure reception and waiting areas remain organised, informative and welcoming.
- Have positive, recovery-focused conversations with people accessing the service. Provide practical information, complete initial triages and offer brief advice around harm reduction, safer substance use and safer sex. Full training will be provided.
- Promote awareness of naloxone, encourage people to attend keywork sessions, groups and clinics, and connect them with recovery communities, peer support, mutual aid and relevant partner organisations.
- Work closely with colleagues, support service communication, encourage feedback from people using the service and contribute to meetings, training and the wider organisation of the Croxteth Hub.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Responsibilities
What you’ll bring
- You may have experience in reception, administration, customer service, health or social care. You may also bring lived experience or a strong personal commitment to supporting people affected by drug and alcohol use.
- Approachable, compassionate and organised, with the confidence to communicate with people from different backgrounds.
- Understand the importance of confidentiality and professional boundaries and be able to remain calm and focused when the service is busy.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Good IT skills and confidence using office systems and databases.
- The ability to prioritise tasks and maintain accurate records.

Why this role matters
