We are looking for someone who loves organisation, is confident working with figures and has excellent attention to detail. You may have worked in administration, accounts, bookkeeping, childcare administration or a similar role.
Previous experience would be helpful, but strong administrative skills and the ability to learn are equally important.
The Role
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing childcare bookings, changes and cancellations
- Responding to parent and customer enquiries by phone and email
- Supporting families through the booking and registration process
- Administering childcare funding schemes and ensuring information is accurate and up to date
- Processing and checking funding applications, registrations and related documentation
- Maintaining accurate records across our booking and administration systems
- Monitoring funding, payments and account information and identifying discrepancies
- Liaising with parents and colleagues to resolve queries
- Assisting with invoicing, payment records and other basic bookkeeping/account administration
- Preparing reports and maintaining spreadsheets
- Keeping on top of deadlines and ensuring required administrative tasks are completed on time
- Providing general administrative support to the wider team
About You
The right person for this position will be:
- Exceptionally organised and efficient
- Someone with excellent attention to detail
- Comfortable working with numbers, spreadsheets and financial information
- Experienced in administration, bookkeeping, accounts administration or a similar role
- Confident using computer systems and learning new software
- A clear and friendly communicator, both on the phone and by email
- Able to manage a busy workload and prioritise effectively
- Reliable and able to take ownership of their responsibilities
- Comfortable following processes while also spotting when something doesn’t look right
- Professional and helpful when dealing with parents, colleagues and external organisations
Experience working with childcare funding schemes would be an advantage, but training can be provided for the right person.
What We’re Really Looking For
This role would suit someone who gets satisfaction from having things organised, accurate and running smoothly.
You are the type of person who notices when a figure doesn’t add up, follows up on an outstanding query, keeps excellent records and doesn’t like loose ends.
If you have a background in administration or bookkeeping and enjoy combining people, systems and numbers, we would love to hear from you.
