Office administration jobs are vital in any non-profit and public sector organisation, often the role involves working with internal and external stakeholders. Good communication and accuracy, time management and organisational skills are all important skills required. Administrator jobs can vary in scope and responsibility depending on the size of the organisation and who they support. Junior Administrator jobs are a great way to get experience of how non-profit and public organisations run, although we would always recommend some volunteering prior to applying for these roles.

Responsibilities and Duties for Administration Roles

The typical duties of an Administrator include: general office support, data entry, managing diaries, meeting room coordination and booking, sourcing and booking travel arrangements, reception/front of house duties, answering the phone, meeting and greeting visitors, filing and typing correspondence and ordering of stationary and office supplies.

Skills Required for Administration Jobs

Administrative jobs require knowledge of Microsoft Packages and often databases/CRM. Most Administrator roles do not require specific qualifications; however, some organisations prefer GCSEs in Maths and English. A course in administration, such as the OCR and NVQ courses, are also beneficial. Administrators can progress into any department within an organisation, such as finance or fundraising, and can move into more senior office administration roles such as Company Secretary or Office Manager.
