Admin Assistant

ADS Group are looking to strengthen our world class team by recruiting an Admin Assistant to work within the Security Vetting Team to deliver pre-employment screening services for our member companies.

The admin assistant's primary job will be to process applications, transfers, and renewals from our members and for our internal staff. You will also assist with aftercare requirements and maintenance of security clearance records.

This is a very data entry heavy role; we have strict processes and procedures that must be followed and while we always look for improvements, we are restricted on what we can do. Your admin assistant job will be somewhat repetitive but very rewarding. In your first year, you will focus on that, but after that, if you have a desire, there are options for growth and projects.

This role is an essential part of the service we provide here at ADS, and our reliance on this has grown. This is reflected in the turnover of this department growing by 20x in the last few years.

While admin knowledge and experience is important in this job, there are some essential requirements if you are to be reviewed:

1. You MUST be a British citizen and hold a UK Passport.
2. You MUST have lived in the UK continuously for the last 5 years.
3. You MUST be willing and able to gain a medium level security clearance.

• A team mindset; teamwork is essential in this role.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Brilliant communication skills.
• Fantastic organisational skills.

If this sounds like the right opportunity for you, then hit apply now!

This is 3 days in the office with a core day of Wednesday; we can be flexible with the other 2. We are also open to staggered start and finish times; all we ask is you do your full 37.5 hours per week.

ADS represents and supports over 1000 UK businesses operating in the aerospace, defence, security, and space sectors. Whether representing industry or driving forward innovation and growth, ADS is at the forefront of these activities. Our membership ranges from SMEs to global primes.

Please submit your CV and cover letter to us. We will review this, and the process will be:

1. 30-minute Teams interview to get to know you and your motivations.
2. 45-60 minute F2F interview onsite in Farnborough for a more formal chat.
