Help at Home Administrator
£24,491.75 for 37 hours a week Monday to Friday
Are you organised, outgoing and looking for a new challenge that makes a real difference to people when they need it most?
You will act as the primary support to our Help at Home Team, in receiving and triaging enquiries and referrals into our service, via our Inbox, telephone calls, internal referrals from other Care Network Teams, and through our involvement in the Voluntary Sector Alliance.
This exciting role will act as the first point of contact from both external and internal stakeholders.
You will be required to handle most of the referrals that come into our very busy Help at Home Service and to ensure that our team of Coordinators are kept up to speed on the referrals coming in, and that referrers know what has happened to their enquiries.
As such this is a very important role and you will be required to ensure that enquiries and referrals are dealt with effectively, efficiently and in a professional and positive way.
It requires a focused individual who can quickly complete tasks and can confidently manage their own workload and has the interpersonal skills to work confidently with a wide variety of audiences, from members of the public through to leading figures in the local NHS.
The post is predominately home based with at least one day at one of our offices at Chatteris or Hardwick per week.
We work with health and social care providers and other charities to ensure that whatever needs to happen actually happens so that people can stay in or return to their own homes and communities.
If you would like to apply please send a covering statement explaining why you wish to be considered and how you meet the requirements of the role to recruitment@care-network.org.uk
