An opportunity has arisen for an administration assistant to support the current service administrator within the Barnardo's Threads service.
Barnardo's Threads is a holistic family support and housing service for young people and families in Renfrewshire, helping them give their children the best start in life. There are a range of services on offer at Threads for families to get the support they need at the earliest opportunity to provide a healthy, nurturing, stable environment for their children.
We provide support in the following areas:
* Parenting
* Housing
* Early help
* Supportive Housing
* Recovery Support
* Partnership and signposting
The administrator assistant role will be pivotal in supporting the day-to-day running of a busy office as directed by the current service administrator. Tasks include, but are not limited to, answering telephone calls, welcoming visitors to the service, managing diaries and event bookings, preparing audit information and reports, monitoring income and expenditure, and processing invoices.
The assistant will also support the wider team members to maintain service user records and day-to-day requirements as well as supporting other areas of the wider Threads Service Portfolio as directed by the Children's Service Manager.
The successful applicant should be motivated, driven, and able to work on their own initiative and as part of a wider multidisciplinary team. Experience of working alongside colleagues from a multidisciplinary background would be desirable, and experience of working in the public or third sector would be welcomed.
The successful candidate will require a high degree of flexibility to meet the needs of the service.

Pay & Reward Framework
We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work, and creativity of our people.
For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive, and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive, and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.
Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
