About us
Protective Care Group was established to provide bespoke and tailor-made support for young people with severe, complex needs, particularly those exhibiting challenging behaviour. We specialise in providing a level of support that local authorities are often unable to; support that makes a real difference to somebody's quality of life and future prospects.
About the role:
We are growing rapidly across the UK. We've grown to over 100 members of staff in around a year and are aiming to reach 250-300 in the next 12 months. We've been busy putting structure and process in place to enable further rapid scalability. Due to this growth, we are now looking for an Administrator to provide support to our teams at Head Office in a full-time, office-based role.
As an Administrator with PCG, you play an integral part in ensuring our Finance, Procurement and Business Support teams are operating in a timely and efficient manner. You'll need to be able to think on your feet and be very proactive.
Your role will involve many varied tasks and there is scope to expand the role going forwards.

Experience in Administration is essential but any experience in Finance Administration is desirable. You will need to be confident, have strong attention to detail and as we are a new business, things will change from time to time, so you'll need to be able to adapt and cope with change.
