We're looking for an enthusiastic individual with office administration and customer service experience to join us as an
Administrator and provide the support we need to help us deliver an effective local service. This is an exciting opportunity and you will play a key part in standing up to the housing emergency.
About Shelter
A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, bestinclass individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.
At Shelter we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home. Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, fair, equitable and transparent.
We have committed to combat racism both within and outside Shelter and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly antiracist organisation.
About the team
At Shelter Bristol we provide housing advice and support to people across the city and strive for change to address the underlying systems that are causing the housing emergency. The range of support also includes legal representation, practical DIY assistance, and welfare benefits advice, so people can address their housing and other related issue. We also raise awareness of housing rights within the community so people can take their own actions and work in partnership with other local organisations.
About the role
You will be the first point of contact for inperson and telephone callers to the service taking client details, providing information and working with advisers to direct enquiries to the right people.
You'll provide administrative support functions and have responsibility for designing and developing office systems and processes, data input, extraction and analysis and finance administration. Helping front line staff with case administration, assisting the Hub managers with adhoc projects and seeing that our office equipment is properly maintained all are aspects of this interesting, varied and vital role.
We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.
About you
With proven office administration and customer service experience, you'll be a confident user of Microsoft Office, including Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Outlook. Someone with a passion for social justice, who thrives in a fast paced and busy office environment, you have a flexible and tenacious approach and enjoy learning new skills. You will be able to input, extract and analyse data and be able to review processes, introducing new ways of working where needed.
In return we can offer a competitive salary and a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.
Home is everything. We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Join us in ending the devastating impact the housing emergency has on people and our communities.
Safeguarding is everyone's business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. All our staff will be expected to observe professional standards of behaviour and conduct their work in line with our Safeguarding Policies.
