Are you seeking a diverse and engaging role that’s also fulfilling? Do you aspire to utilise your administrative and organisational skills? 

We are looking for a part time Office Administrator to provide administrative support to the various functions in the organisation. You’ll deliver a high standard of service to clients, supporting general administrative duties within the HR team.

Share is a registered charity and a centre for training and wellbeing. We provide a range of programmes helping adults with learning disabilities, autism and other support needs become more happy, healthy and independent. Our vision is a world where disabled people are fully included in society, living the life they choose, and we need talented people to help us make that happen. 

Joining our team means you’ll be doing work you can be proud of, helping to make sure our charity runs smoothly and keeps supporting people to get the best out of their lives. 

Main responsibilities 

• You’ll book training and undertake general administrative tasks to support the smooth running of Share 
• You’ll arrange cover for activities and programmes across Share sites and in the community 
• You’ll assist the wider team with data entry, administrative tasks and will coordinate the ordering and distribution of stationery across the sites 

About you 

• You are a strong team-player who is friendly, reliable, helpful and doesn’t get flustered easily. Every day at Share is different, and that will be something that excites rather than daunts you.
• You’re super organised, conscientious, and not afraid to use your initiative to tackle jobs you notice need doing 
• You understand the barriers disabled people face in living the lives they want to live 

Share is committed to empowering disabled people. You’ll make a difference every day, helping people to live as independently as possible. 

Our values drive us forward. They provide the framework for everything we do, including who we hire. We believe everyone has something to offer others, and we build on people's individual talents, interests and abilities. We think happy employees are successful employees. 

We won employer of the year at the Wandsworth Business Awards in 2019 and we hold gold Investors in People accreditation. This means we truly understand the value of people: we focus on what people can do, not what holds them back. And we have robust policies in place so that every single person working at Share takes ownership for making our programmes come to life. 

We’ve been praised for our supportive working environment where everyone has a voice and is valued. You’ll be surrounded by people who support you, challenge you, and inspire you. 

We actively encourage applications from people from minoritised ethnic communities and with lived experience of a learning disability and/or autism. This is because we believe our staff should reflect the diversity of our student body wherever possible in order to provide the best possible service. 

Please send your CV and a cover letter addressing the following questions: 

• What are your top three qualities that make you an excellent receptionist/administrator? 
• How do you approach problem-solving and decision-making when encountering complex administrative issues? 
• Can you tell us about a time when you were very busy and had to multitask? What was the situation and what did you do?
