The post is based at Edward House, Glasgow – Scottish Families’ national office. Staff work flexibly between home and office, but the post-holder is expected to work in the office at least two days a week.

Responsibilities include handling basic Salesforce administrative functions including user maintenance, modification of page layouts, generation of reports and dashboards, creation of new fields and other routine tasks, as well as supporting financial processing systems (including processing incoming invoices and raising outgoing invoices, financial record-keeping, petty cash-handling and reconciliation). The post provides secretariat support to the Scottish Families Board and Business Committee, including minute-taking, as well as business support across the Scottish Families team as appropriate, to support service delivery. The role also involves preparing high quality reports, presentation materials and other documents; assisting with event management; and providing administrative support for Scottish Families networks and meetings.
We are seeking applicants who have a minimum of SVQ Level 3 in Business Administration or a relevant discipline, or equivalent experience; with experience of the use and understanding of the Salesforce Platform (Customer Relationship Management [CRM] system); financial processing, systems and record keeping; managing corporate correspondence; office management; and event management.

Applicants must have outstanding IT skills (including full range of Microsoft packages and Outlook 365 including Sharepoint); the ability to produce high quality reports, presentations and other documents; to work on their own initiative with excellent organisational skills, and to prioritise their workload. You must be able to deal appropriately with confidential and sensitive information, and work to a high standard with minimal supervision.
