About us
The Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) is the association for leaders in adult social care. All current directors of adult social services (DASS) in England are in membership and most authorities have taken up the opportunity to include their top teams in our extended membership arrangements. They have responsibility for commissioning and delivering statutory adult social services in local government and in partnership with health and other relevant organisations.

The role and requirements
ADASS seeks to influence policy and support its membership to bring about the best possible outcomes for people who use adult social care services across the country. We work to support councils to deliver effective and integrated services for their communities.

The Business Unit is based at Local Government House in London and is looking for a committed and experienced Project Administrator with knowledge of office systems and procedures. The successful post-holder will work as a key member of a small team and will be involved in communications, supporting policy development, membership, finance and organising events.

It’s essential that you have a sound skills base in providing effective administrative support, including diary management, as well as experience of providing project support on multiple projects at the same time. We are looking for team players with excellent organisational abilities and who communicate effectively with internal colleagues and senior external contacts.

We value diversity and encourage applications from all sections of the community
