A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a full time Casework Administrator in the West Midlands Region at SSAFA, the UK’s oldest national tri-service Armed Forces charity.
About the role
Working as part of a Regional Team, and with the support of the Regional Casework Manager, this exciting role will be to support in the delivery of casework services across the West Midlands. By acting in conjunction with SSAFA colleagues, and in support of volunteers you will help to ensure a consistent, timely, quality service is provided to SSAFA beneficiaries.
This will include call handling, signposting/ triaging initial enquiries and assisting with the IT systems used to submit applications for funds on behalf of our beneficiaries.
About you
To carry out this role successfully you will be a team player with excellent organisational, customer service, communication, and IT skills. You will also have experience of working with volunteers and the ability to handle welfare cases with sensitivity and empathy. You must be highly motivated and capable of working with minimal supervision in a home-based environment.
Knowledge of the Armed Forces and ex-Forces community would be an advantage but is not essential.
An excellent understanding of MS Office 365 (particularly databases, remote applications (such as MS Teams) and MS Excel) is essential). However, we will train you in the SSAFA -specific systems you will need for the role.
You must be willing to travel occasionally to SSAFA branches within the region.
