What is a 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.

 

They will:

  • develop, implement, maintain and improve administrative services, using key skills and behaviours to support their own progression towards management responsibilities.

  • support and engage with different parts of the business and interact with internal or external customers, with a focus on adding value and efficiency of an organisation.

  • demonstrate strong communication skills (both written and verbal), adopting a proactive approach to developing skills, such as problem-solving, decision-making and the potential for people management responsibilities through mentoring or coaching others.
