We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Social Care Administrator to join our team within Carmarthenshire's Area Mental Health Social Work Team, Learning Disability Team, and Substance Use Recovery Services, supporting frontline professionals across Carmarthen and Llanelli.

This is more than just an admin role – it's a vital part of delivering high-quality adult social care services to some of the most vulnerable people in our communities.

About the Role:

As a Senior Social Care Administrator, you will play a key role in the coordination and smooth running of essential adult social care services. You'll work under the direction of the Social Care Support Team Leader, supporting multiple teams in a fast-paced and emotionally sensitive environment.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering a wide range of administrative and business support functions
• Supporting communication and coordination between Local Authority and Local Health Board teams
• Acting as the first point of contact for urgent enquiries, often in crisis situations
• Ensuring accurate and timely handling of sensitive information and records
• Providing essential cover for other Business Support staff (e.g., during annual or sick leave)

This is a highly rewarding role where your work directly enables the delivery of services that promote safety, independence, and wellbeing for adults with complex needs.

What We're Looking For:

We're seeking a proactive, organised and compassionate individual with:

• Excellent administrative and organisational skills
• Strong communication and customer care abilities
• High attention to detail and accuracy
• Confidence in managing competing priorities and working under pressure
• A flexible and adaptable approach, aligned with the Council's 'One Team' ethos

Experience in social care, health, or multi-agency working environments is desirable but not essential – training and support will be provided.

What We Offer:

• A supportive and welcoming team environment
• Ongoing learning and development opportunities
• The chance to build a rewarding career in public service
• The opportunity to make a real difference in people's lives every day
