Description
Job Title: Business Support Administrator
Location: Home-based (with travel to your region when needed) - Northamptonshire
Hours: 20 hours per week
 
This vacancy is currently ring-fenced for colleagues whose roles have been identified as being at risk of redundancy. Applications are invited from individuals within this group only at this stage.
 
At Homes2Inspire, part of Shaw Trust, everything we do is about making a positive difference to the lives of children and young people. We believe that every child deserves to feel safe, supported and inspired to reach their full potential and this role is key to helping us achieve that.
 
We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Business Support Administrator to join our friendly and passionate team. If you’re someone who thrives on keeping things organised, enjoys problem-solving, and wants to use your skills to support meaningful work, we’d love to hear from you.
 
What the role involves
 
No two days will look the same, but your main responsibilities will include:
  • Providing high-quality administrative support to our Operations Teams.
  • Maintaining accurate records and helping us meet compliance and contract requirements.
  • Coordinating meetings, capturing minutes, and ensuring actions are followed up.
  • Preparing reports and supporting audits and inspections.
  • Liaising with local authorities and internal colleagues to keep everything running smoothly.
  • Assisting with the mobilisation of new services for children and young people.
  • Supporting communications across the organisation – helping us stay connected and informed.
 
This is a home-based role, giving you the flexibility to work where you work best. From time to time, you’ll travel to your designated area to connect with colleagues and provide hands-on support.
 
What we’re looking for
 
We’d love to hear from you if you are:
  • Organised and detail-focused someone who takes pride in doing things well.
  • Confident with technology, especially Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams).
  • Experienced in administration, with the ability to prioritise tasks and manage deadlines.
  • A strong communicator, comfortable working with different people and building positive relationships.
  • Adaptable and flexible – able to juggle a varied workload and step into new challenges.
Experience in contract management, project support or compliance would be a bonus, but it’s not essential – what matters most is your attitude, drive and willingness to learn.
 
Why join us?
 
At Homes2Inspire, you’ll be more than an administrator – you’ll be part of a community that is dedicated to making a difference. In return, we offer you:
  • Flexible working arrangements to suit your lifestyle.
  • A supportive, values-driven organisation where your wellbeing matters.
  • Opportunities to grow and develop, with access to training and career progression.
  • The chance to work alongside passionate colleagues who care deeply about the work we do.
 
How to apply
 
If you’re ready to bring your skills to a role that truly matters, apply today and join us in creating brighter futures for children and young people.
