About the role:
Our Reablement & Step Up/Step Down services put residents at the heart of everything we do. Following an accident or illness, sometimes people need a helping hand to get back to everyday life.

Join us as a Senior Administrator, and you’ll find your greatness supporting our multi-disciplinary staff teams of reablement workers, coordinators, and therapists as they care for those who need it most. As an experienced senior administrator, you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring our ‘back office’ functions deliver a robust level of support to enable our teams to do their job at the highest standards in line with our directorate’s values and priorities.
The role involves:
- Scheduling the daily Reablement programme using our bespoke rostering system so that visits to people we support are appropriately planned
- Monitoring service capacity ensuring sufficient levels to meet the needs of people we support
- Provide and manage spreadsheet systems, monitoring, updating, and analysing data as and when required to a high and accurate standard, checking accuracy and prioritising work
- Provide and manage word processing systems, drafting letters, preparing documents and correspondence as and when required to a high and accurate standard, checking accuracy and prioritising workload
- Provide an effective link with all levels of local authority personnel and other organisations
- Provide an effective link with members of the public. In particular, families and representatives of people using care services
- Undertake procurement as required, dealing with invoices in a timely manner, and answer any financial queries, ensuring that invoices match up to purchase orders to facilitate prompt payment
