Even in senior roles, too many office professionals are brought in to “help out”,  only to be handed broken systems, patchy processes, and responsibility without the authority to fix them.

You’re expected to chase suppliers, fix schedules, cover gaps, and absorb problems that aren't yours, all while wrestling with outdated tools or clunky workflows.

At the same time, businesses are rushing to automate everything, but without strong, strategic admin leadership, those systems only create more confusion.

And when there’s no space to lead or improve things properly, it’s not just inefficient. It’s demoralising.

It drains your energy. It wastes your skills. And over time, it chips away at the confidence you’ve worked hard to build.

But YOU don’t have to sit back and accept this as inevitable.

Because in the right hands, smart systems, including AI, can be powerful. And your ability to bring clarity, communication, and real-world logic to the mix? That’s the value that can’t be automated!

Fairly paid, independently managed and highly rewarding projects 

The ONLY way to get genuine job satisfaction is to spend your days doing work you LOVE with people you like!

Work in and around one of London’s most iconic residential developments – the apartments at Battersea Power Station!

This is a self-managed, high-responsibility Office Manager role where you’ll lead the systems that keep our business running, from scheduling and invoicing to communication and coordination.

You’ll have the trust, structure and support you need to run a clean, efficient office, and the autonomy to improve what’s already in place.

If you love building clarity into everyday operations and want a role where you’re trusted to lead, this could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

This is a remote role you can do from home or wherever you work best.

Do meaningful work and build great relationships with our hardworking engineers and residents as you showcase your administrative and managerial skills.

Form strong relationships with our customers, showcase your skills and work as part of a valued, expert organisation 

When Judy started working with Starling Red, she already had other clients and was looking to fill in her availability with meaningful, flexible work that aligned with her skills.

Much of the work she took on was similar to what she was doing elsewhere, so it slotted easily into her schedule, but she also learned how Starling Red operated and how to meet the team’s expectations. She picked up new systems like ClickUp, which she found efficient and easy to work with, and gradually helped bring more structure to the team’s day-to-day coordination.

Judy still plays an important part in the team and will continue to support Andy and the wider business in her virtual assistant role. Now, she’s excited to work alongside a new Office Manager. Someone who can take ownership of the systems she’s helped shape, and bring the consistency and leadership that will take things to the next level

Judy made the switch to meaningful work and is now a valued part of the Starling Red team

Let me tell you a little about our company, Starling Red.

After becoming an Award-winning member of the team at Battersea Power Station, I spotted a need for reliable home services that would supply this stunning apartment development.

Not only to provide a top-class customer service, but could also navigate their way with deep knowledge of the power station and all of its electrical, plumbing and heating technical quirks.

So that's exactly what we did.

And we haven't looked back since.

But don’t just take my word for it:

Work with our fantastic customers who value the excellent service we provide 

• No.1 In Battersea - We are the top-rated maintenance provider by Battersea’s Owners Association.

• We’re Rated 5-Stars On Google - We're recognised for our amazing customer feedback. Our reputation speaks for itself!

• Actively seeking investors for growth - We’ve qualified for SEIS innovation funding to help grow the business in the years ahead.

You’ll experience the exciting benefits and opportunities of being an early member in our small, but fast-growing team, with plenty of scope for career progression as we expand — if that’s what you’re looking for.

Get work-life balance with an employee-focused 9-day fortnight. After 6 months, all team members are eligible for this arrangement, giving you one extra day off every two weeks (half gifted, half swapped for slightly extended days in the week) to recharge your batteries, by spending time with your family, running errands, or just relaxing, doing whatever you love most.

All of your work can be based either at home or at the prestigious Battersea Power Station, so you can wave goodbye to the mandatory commute and enjoy the flexible working environment that works for your life.

As an experienced administrator, you’ll earn between £27,000 and £37,000 pro rata, depending on experience.

You’ll typically work Monday to Friday, covering a consistent block of core hours in the middle of the day, usually around 3.5 hours, with some flexibility depending on what works best for you and the team.

At the end of each day, there’s a short 15-minute review to help keep tasks updated and everything running smoothly.

You’re here right now because you want to:

• Stop feeling under-appreciated in a role that doesn’t truly value your skills and experience.
• Find a rewarding and flexible, Monday–Friday administration job where you can build meaningful relationships and do work you’re proud of.
• Take the next step in your career, earning a great salary while making a real difference to the people you work with

We think this is a brilliant opportunity (and yes, we’re obviously biased), but I know it’s not the right fit for everyone. And that’s okay, but I’d hate to waste your time.

If you’re the kind of person who’s happy coasting through life, doing the bare minimum you can get away with.

If you’re someone who’d secretly turn a blind eye to problems you spot just to avoid making more work for yourself.

If you'd actively avoid talking to clients and suppliers because it’s "easier" not to have to deal with them.

There’s nothing wrong with those things, but it means you won’t be a great fit for us.

We’re building a team that takes pride in doing things properly, even when it’s not the easy option.

If that sounds like you, this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

If you take pride in your work and strive to do the right thing, we'd love to hear from you.

1) What does the role of Office Administrator entail? 
You'll coordinate logistics for the team, managing schedules, handling the inbox, ordering materials, and organising invoicing. You'll work closely with engineers, making sure they have everything they need to deliver a great service.

2) What qualifications or experience do I need?
We’re looking for someone with solid administrative experience, ideally in property management or a service-based industry. Strong skills in Gmail, Google Drive, and cloud-based scheduling tools are essential.

3) Is training provided?
We’ll make sure you’re introduced to how we do things and supported as you get settled, but this role is designed for someone who’s already confident managing admin systems and daily operations independently. You won’t be micromanaged or handheld, you will be trusted to take the lead. And if there’s a specific tool or course that could help you do the job even better, we’re always open to supporting that.

4) What are the expectations around hours and remote work?
This is a part-time role, typically 10:00am to 2:30pm, suited to someone very local who can also help manage site storage and deliveries.

We’re also open to fully remote applicants, where online tasks are handled remotely, and on-site tasks are supported by the team. Hybrid working is possible for candidates based very locally.

5) What opportunities are there for career progression?
As a growing company, we’re expanding our systems, customers, and team. You’ll have the chance to grow your skills, take on more responsibility, and shape your future with us.

6) How do I apply?
It’s quick and simple. To receive full instructions, click the 'apply' button below and we'll hurry over your full instructions. As part of the process you’ll be asked to complete a short, but enjoyable task to double check your suitability for the role. The faster you apply, the faster we can get the ball rolling — so don’t put this off.

Join our fantastic team based at the iconic Battersea Power Station

Thanks for sticking with me and making it this far.
