Service Administrator

Astley View Care Home, Chorley, Lancashire

£14.00 per hour | 37.5 hours per week

Full-Time | Permanent

Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm | Occasional weekend working

Organised by Nature. Warm with People. At the Heart of Our Home.

For us, a great Administrator isn't simply someone who can keep records organised and meet deadlines.

We're looking for someone who is warm, approachable and naturally helpful. Someone who enjoys getting to know people, makes residents and families feel welcome, and understands that even the smallest interaction can shape someone's experience of our home.

At Astley View Care Home, our Administrator is a central part of the community. You'll be the friendly face at reception, a trusted support for colleagues and an important link between residents, families, visitors and our wider teams.

Of course, you'll need to be organised. You'll need a great eye for detail and the confidence to juggle recruitment, payroll information, staff records, resident administration and the everyday demands of a busy care home.

But just as importantly, we're looking for someone whose personality reflects what Astley View Care Home is all about: kindness, respect, professionalism and a genuine desire to help people.

Important Information

Please note that we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role. Applications that do not meet this requirement will not be progressed.

The Opportunity

This is a genuinely varied role at the heart of a busy care home.

Reporting to the Registered Manager, you'll help keep the people, information and processes behind Astley View Care Home running smoothly.

One moment you might be welcoming a family member or helping a new colleague settle in. The next, you'll be coordinating recruitment checks, preparing payroll information, updating records or supporting an upcoming meeting or audit.

You’ll become someone that colleagues, residents and families know they can approach, while maintaining the discretion and professionalism that comes with working in a care environment.

What You'll Be Doing

• Providing a warm and professional welcome to residents, families, visitors and colleagues
• Supporting recruitment, including candidate communication, interviews and pre-employment checks
• Coordinating new starter paperwork, contracts, DBS, references and Right to Work documentation
• Maintaining accurate and confidential employee and resident records
• Supporting rotas, timesheets, absence records and payroll information
• Maintaining training, supervision and appraisal trackers
• Supporting resident admission and general administration
• Processing purchase orders, invoices and agreed financial information
• Coordinating meetings, diaries, correspondence and minutes
• Preparing reports and maintaining administrative trackers
• Supporting audits and ensuring required documentation is organised and accessible
• Helping colleagues navigate administrative systems and processes
• Building positive relationships across the home and being someone people feel comfortable approaching

About You

We're looking for someone who combines great administration skills with a great way with people.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience in an administrative or coordination role
• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
• Confidence using Microsoft Office and electronic systems
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience working with confidential or sensitive information
• The ability to prioritise and stay organised when things get busy
• A professional, reliable and proactive approach

Experience within care, healthcare or another people-focused environment would be beneficial, but attitude and values matter enormously to us too.

The attached specifically places kindness, patience, respect, privacy and adapting communication to individual needs at the heart of how the Administrator should work.
