Govan HELP is a growing, place-based family support charity, established in 1996, committed to improving opportunities and outcomes for children, young people and families living in the Govan area. We provide a range of integrated early-intervention and family support services, working alongside families to build on their strengths, promote wellbeing and improve outcomes.

We are delighted to be developing our new Govan HELP Family Centre, which provides a welcoming, accessible space where children, parents, carers and families can access a range of support, activities and services. The Family Centre brings together different areas of our work and strengthens our ability to provide families with coordinated support in a welcoming and community-focused environment.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and organised Administrator to join our multi-disciplinary team and provide effective administrative and reception support across Govan HELP. The role will play an important part in the day-to-day running of the Family Centre and will provide a welcoming and professional first point of contact for families, visitors, partner agencies and professionals accessing our services.

We are looking for someone with relevant administrative experience gained within a busy office or customer-facing environment. The successful candidate will be able to manage a varied workload, prioritise competing demands and work effectively as part of a team. You will have excellent communication and organisational skills, a positive and friendly approach, and the ability to build good relationships with a wide range of people.

The role requires someone who is confident using IT and Microsoft Office applications, has good attention to detail and understands the importance of confidentiality when working within a family support environment.
