Control Room Administrator – Split Shifts (4 on / 4 off)

📍 National Operations Centre, Northampton
💷 £9,864 per year (14 hours per week with potential for more)
🕒 4 on / 4 off – split shifts
⏰ 06:30–08:30 & 18:30–20:30 on shift days
📄 Permanent, part-time
➕ Overtime available – potential to increase hours up to 42 per week

Our National Operations Centre operates 24/7, supporting thousands of people working across the UK. This role focuses on critical morning and evening cover, when sites are opening, closing, and staff movements are at their highest.

When someone doesn't arrive on site, runs late, or misses a welfare check, you're the person who spots it, takes action, and keeps people safe.

This is a calm, responsible role in a fast-moving environment where attention to detail really matters.

What You'll Be Doing

Although the hours are part-time, the responsibility is real. On shift, you'll be trusted to:

Monitor live staffing and attendance across multiple sites

Manage incidents where staff are late, absent, or need urgent support

Monitor welfare check calls and act quickly if someone goes quiet

Respond to duress alerts and escalate incidents calmly and accurately

Handle calls and emails from sites and managers during peak periods

Record incidents and actions clearly so nothing is missed

Support effective handovers between shifts

These are key pressure points in the day — your role helps keep operations running safely and smoothly.

Who We're Looking For

You don't need previous control room experience, but you do need to be:

Confident using multiple computer systems at the same time

Calm under pressure and able to think clearly during busy periods

Organised, accurate, and detail-focused

Comfortable speaking to managers, clients, and site staff

Reliable and able to commit to a 4 on / 4 off pattern

If you've worked in admin, operations, call handling, logistics, or monitoring environments, you'll settle in quickly.
