Business Administrator

Business administrators have a highly transferable set of knowledge, skills and behaviours that can be applied in all sectors. This includes small and large businesses alike; from the public sector, private sector and charitable sector. The role may involve working independently or as part of a team and will involve developing, implementing, maintaining and improving administrative services. Business administrators develop key skills and behaviours to support their own progression towards management responsibilities.

A good Business Administrator should always be looking to improve efficiency, be a good problem solver and enjoy working across teams to improve the functions of the business. They will interact with a wide variety of stakeholders across the organisation to support and engage them.

An organisation requires a good administrator to be flexible and responsive, proactive, have integrity and be positive and encouraging. They are relied upon to be good time and priority managers with sound decision making abilities and may very well be managing people to get tasks done through guiding, mentoring and coaching, always seeking to develop theirs and other team members skills further. Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, are essential.
