Description

The City of York Council's corporate Business Support Service is offering an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and experienced administrator.

Wenlock Terrace is an Ofsted registered children's home that supports young people aged between 11 and 17 years old. The team provide high quality residential care that provides stability and total investment to developing meaningful, sustainable relationships.


The young people Wenlock Terrace supports often struggle to build relationships and trust adults or understand and make sense of their own emotions.

This often results in them displaying behaviours of concern, either at home or in the community and putting themselves at risk.

Wenlock aims to support young people to live within their family or wider networks or, where that is not possible, either foster care or support them to develop their independence skills.

Wenlock Terrace is committed to working closely with parents, carers and other people involved, as we know that a joined up and consistent approach will lead to better outcomes.

The post holder will be required to perform a number of tasks and the key skills required include:

  • Ability to arrange and minute meetings.
  • Effective, tactful and diplomatic interpersonal skills.
  • High degree of computer literacy including experience of working with a variety of information technology.
  • Ability to work effectively and flexibly as part of a team and using their own initiative.
  • To be responsive to changing priorities and conflicting demands.
  • Strong organisational skills, including good time and task management.
  • Ability to work within a multiagency environment.
  • Ability to adapt working practices, suggest service improvements and be responsive to change.
  • Ability to interrogate the case management database to obtain required information.
As part of the team the post holder will have opportunities for:

  • Supporting the development of existing systems and processes.
  • Using your initiative to build the role and develop with a new team dynamic.
  • Developing a working knowledge of a variety of software packages.
  • Ongoing personal development in our supportive environment.


The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution.
