Office Administrator & Social Value Coordinator

Roofing & Cladding Contractor
Durham | £25,000 – £30,000 | Full Time, Permanent (37 hours)

Lemon Drizzle Recruitment is excited to be working with a thriving and growing Roofing & Cladding Contractor based in Durham. Known for delivering high-quality building envelope solutions across commercial, industrial and high-rise projects throughout the North East, this is a business with strong values and a genuinely supportive culture.

They’re now looking for an Office Administrator & Social Value Coordinator to play a key role at the heart of the business.

Why this role stands out

This is much more than a standard admin position. You’ll be a central support hub for the business, working closely with commercial, procurement, technical and site teams — while also helping to shape and grow the company’s social value and community impact strategy, an area the business expects to expand significantly.

If you’re organised, people-focused, and passionate about making a difference, this role offers real responsibility, variety, and long-term progression.

What you’ll be doing

Office Administration (Primary Focus):

* Providing admin support across all departments

* Acting as the first point of contact for calls and emails

* Managing office supplies, equipment, and document control

* Maintaining accurate filing systems (digital and physical)

* Coordinating general HR administration

* Supporting day-to-day office operations to keep everything running smoothly

Social Value & Community Engagement (Growing Focus):

* Supporting the planning, delivery, and monitoring of social value initiatives

* Coordinating community engagement activities and events

* Building relationships with local charities, schools, and suppliers

* Collecting and managing data for social value reporting

* Assisting with internal and external reports

* Maintaining records in line with relevant frameworks and commitments

What they’re looking for

* A positive, proactive, can-do attitude

* Strong communication skills — confident on the phone, by email and face-to-face

* Ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

* Comfortable working under pressure and adapting to change

* A true team player who enjoys supporting others

* Confident using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)

* A genuine passion for community engagement and sustainability

* A full UK driving licence (or working towards one) — community visits are part of the role

What’s in it for you?

* Competitive salary: £25,000 – £30,000

* 25 days holiday + bank holidays

* Company pension

* Free on-site parking

* Early finish every Friday (2pm!)

* Clear opportunity to progress into a senior social value role

* Hands-on exposure to live construction projects and site environments from day one

* A friendly, close-knit team where your contribution genuinely matters
