Admin Jobs Overview
If you excel when it comes to organisation, are a whizz with a spreadsheet, and enjoy a role that involves a good deal of responsibility, then a career in administration could be just for you. Administration professionals are hired throughout the public and private sectors in the UK. Admins play a vital role in managing senior employees’ schedules and agendas, as well as inputting and curating important company information. They may also be relied upon to answer phone call enquiries and organise travel arrangements for staff.
Admin jobs are present in many major companies. In fact, some firms have entire administrative teams, whereas small organisations may just have one or two admin assistants. However, an admin is often the first person a CEO or senior manager will go to when facing a major administrative decision. Thus keeping a calm head and working well under pressure are qualities often prized by admin employers.
As the admin career pathway is so vast, you may want to delve into specific administration jobs that interest you. Just a few examples include:
Admin Jobs Education and Skills
Entry-level admin roles typically do not require extensive academic qualifications—often only a GCSE in maths and English are required—whereas as with more senior roles, such as an administrative manager, an undergraduate degree or at least past managerial experience will likely be required.
Regardless of the level of seniority, almost all administrative professionals will be expected to be:
- competent at Microsoft Office
- proficient at typing
- confident at managing a digital calendar
- possess excellent phone etiquette
You can also explore our office administrator job description to see more about the skills and duties usually involved.
How Much Do Admin Jobs Pay?
The average entry-level admin job in the UK offers a salary of around £21,840, but bear in mind that this can rise significantly for more experienced administrative roles. Also, job salaries can range hugely by location. Traditionally London and other large cities in the UK pay higher than their more rural counterparts. However, this wage gap is beginning to adjust in some cases due to the growing popularity of working from home. To find out what you can expect to earn, you can use an online salary calculator for reference. Also, don’t be afraid to ask an employer directly for the salary range.
Update Your CV
Administration jobs are all about efficiency and organisation, so you will want to make sure your CV is as tidy and easy to navigate as possible. Follow our CV tips for structural guidance, and consult our admin CV template for an example of what yours might look like.
You may also be expected to write a cover letter. A cover letter is your opportunity to go into greater detail about what makes you the right candidate for an admin job, and it also allows you to add a bit of your personality into your application too. Don’t worry if you’re not already a cover letter pro, as we also have an admin cover letter template available too.
Preparing for Your Admin Job Interview
An admin job interview will often involve questions based around both your administrative skills and how well you will fit into an employer’s company culture. You may be asked about your level of computer proficiency, how well you perform under potentially stressful situations, and to give examples of past administrative successes.
We have many job interview resources available. This includes a list of the most common questions asked during interviews for administrators.
Research Companies That Interest You
When exploring administrative vacancies, make sure you research companies thoroughly. A question or two about the company—its products, structure, or history—may just come up in the interview, so you will want to make sure you are well prepared beforehand. Use our company profiles to view:
- size and locations
- social media accounts
