VOCAL is the Voice of Carers across Lothian, a Scottish charity run by carers and for carers since 1994.  We are looking for an Administrator to join the team at our busy Carers’ Hub in Edinburgh.

As an integral member of VOCAL’s small administrative team, the postholder will play a key role in supporting the smooth running of services across the organisation, including Carer Support, Counselling, Wee Breaks, Carer Training, and other key areas of service delivery.

The role involves covering a busy reception area, greeting carers and visitors with a positive, helpful attitude, and working closely with staff and volunteers to maintain a supportive and professional atmosphere.

In addition to reception duties and administrative support, the postholder will assist with data recording within VOCAL’s client data management system.

This is a varied and rewarding role that requires excellent communication skills, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to supporting both carers and colleagues across VOCAL’s services.

Applicants will have experience in a comparable position and be able to demonstrate excellent administration and IT skills as well as data entry experience.
