The Admin Assistant will provide organised administrative support in a Barchester care home, helping with records, filing, correspondence, telephone enquiries, data entry, meeting arrangements and general office tasks. The role may also involve supporting finance, payroll, resident documentation and communication with families, staff and external organisations. Candidates should have good organisational and communication skills, basic computer literacy, accuracy and a professional, helpful manner. Previous office or care-sector administration experience is useful, although a willingness to learn is important. The successful applicant should work reliably, maintain confidentiality, manage competing priorities and contribute positively to the smooth running of the home. As a bank role, flexibility to cover shifts and changing staffing needs is expected.
