We are seeking an experienced Administration Assistant based at our Head Office, in Llanishen, South Wales. You will have a demonstrable track record of working within an admin team within a housing or customer focused environment to make a real difference to people’s lives, homes and communities.

We are looking for someone who is genuinely passionate about what we do and wants to play a key role in helping us deliver excellent services to our residents. With a strong customer-focused and empathetic approach, you will bring proven experience in administration and be confident supporting the Senior Administration Officer with a variety of tasks and projects.
