Administrative Assistant Andover

Seize a unique opportunity to turn young lives around

We have an excellent opportunity for a Administration Assistant to join our team at Berry View Children’s

Home.

Hampshire County Council has embarked on an exciting new strategy, combining our residential services to deliver

quality experiences for children in our care. We work closely with children aged 10-17 to support their social and

emotional development, create new opportunities that deliver positive experiences and encourage healthier lifestyles.

We have high aspirations for them and we encourage them to regain their self-worth, recover from their experiences

and get their lives back on track.

You will keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes, reducing the administration burden on your colleagues.

The more efficient and effective your contribution, the more our team can focus on the children and families. Joining

this busy team you will carry out a range of administration duties including; co-ordinating the basic administration

function, providing data to Team managers, maintaining HR spreadsheets and responsibility for petty cash claims.

You will be undertaking work which is confidential, demanding and at times, emotionally challenging but always

rewarding, which requires effective communication skills, and a sensitive approach.

In return, you can look forward to helping shape a newly-invigorated service that’s more supportive and forwardthinking

than ever before. Amani will give you greater opportunities to enjoy the satisfaction of seeing young

people turn their lives around.
