We are looking for two experienced administrators to join our team at CELCIS, the Centre for Excellence for Children’s Care and Protection.  

As a leading improvement and innovation centre in Scotland, CELCIS works to improve the lives of children and young people in need of care and protection, and their families and carers. We do this by supporting people and organisations responsible for their care to make changes in services and in the practices and skills they use.

You’ll find us a friendly and engaging bunch at CELCIS, caring and compassionate with each other, with a drive to improve and learn, and the passion and determination to make change happen. The administrative work we do CELCIS is incredibly varied. It is critical work and our team is at the heart of what makes CELCIS run smoothly so that we can all help to deliver for our children and young people, everyone who cares for them, and care leavers.

These administrative roles would suit people who are highly organised, enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and are able to build positive working relationships. If planning, prioritising and multi-tasking is part of your DNA too, then this role is for you. 

Our new administrators will work across a variety of projects and programmes, working with a range of our internal colleagues and our external stakeholders, often providing a first point of contact for them. The postholder will need to be approachable and to be able to work with sensitive and confidential information, and manage diaries and records and produce management information and data. The postholders will also be involved in how we continue to develop and deliver the administration and operations processes for CELCIS, working in collaboration with colleagues to support the effective delivery of our services so that the organisation can meet our aims.

The University is recognised as being people-oriented and our staff have access to a wide range of outstanding benefits, such as: a holiday entitlement of 27 days and 11 statutory days; in-house training and development provider for vocational and non-vocational courses; on-campus nursey; reduced membership at Strathclyde Sport and much more. You can find more information here about rewards and benefits. Flexibility for blended or hybrid working arrangements (from home, in the office, and travel to work with local partners as required for the role) is available.  

Funding for the post: Like all the team, the post is funded on annual basis, with a commitment 2 more years of funding indicated by Scottish Government. CELCIS has received funding for all its posts in this way from Scottish Government since 2010.

Change is happening. Be part of it. Together we can make things better for children, young people and their families.
