We are looking for an efficient, friendly office administrator to manage our reception office, perform a range of key admin and finance admin duties. As the first point of contact for clients, visitors and callers to Voices, this is a crucial role and requires the ability to be welcoming, patient and responsive while multi-tasking and paying a high level of attention to the detail of administration and processes. The post holder will need to be able to step immediately into a busy office and frontline advice environment with the necessary confidence, skills and knowledge to manage both reception and back-office functions and a range of competing day-to-day and longer-term admin priorities with minimal supervision, working from our premises in Brighton.

We actively welcome applications from those with lived and relevant experience – please see the job description and person specification below.
