Office Administrator in Crewe

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced office administrator to join our central HR team on a one year temporary project based role to support with administrative tasks as directed by the people business partners.

In this role, you will play a key part in delivering high-quality outcomes, building strong relationships with stakeholders, and driving continuous improvement across your area of responsibility.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact while developing your skills within a supportive and collaborative environment.

This post is a genuine fixed-term appointment and is linked directly to the delivery of a specific project.

The appointment is expected to last for 12 months, however the continuation of the role is dependent upon the ongoing requirements and timescales of the project.

Should the project be completed, or cease before the anticipated end date, the organisation reserves the right to bring the fixed-term appointment to an end earlier following appropriate consultation.

At the end of the project, or when the requirement for the project work ceases, the organisation may no longer require the duties undertaken by this role.

In these circumstances, the fixed-term contract may terminate due to the cessation of the business need for the post.

Applicants should therefore be aware that there is no expectation that this position will become permanent.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage day-to-day activities within your designated project.
• Build and maintain effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders.

• Collaborate with colleagues to achieve team and organisational objectives.
• Provide insights, recommendations, and reporting to support decision-making.

• A collaborative approach and a commitment to teamwork.
• A desire to learn, develop, and continuously improve.

Closing date: 5pm on 30th July 2026 however, we reserve the right to close this advert earlier than the proposed date.

As part of our commitment to employee development, all internal applicants will be offered a priority interview.

The Learning Partnership is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

All staff appointments are subject to satisfactory references and enhanced checks with the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS).

All posts involving direct contact with children are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

However, amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013 & 2020) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are 'protected'.

These are not subject to disclosure to employers and cannot be taken into account.

Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Ministry of Justice website.

Shortlisted candidates will be asked to provide details of all unspent convictions and those that would not be filtered, prior to the date of the interview.

You may be asked for further information about your criminal history during the recruitment process.

If your application is successful, this self-disclosure information will be checked against information from the Disclosure & Barring Service before your appointment is confirmed.
