Job description
These are temporary roles until 02/06/27, with the potential to be extended.
Internal candidates must obtain permission from their Department Head before applying.
We are looking for highly organised and people-focused Estates Senior Admin Officers to play a key role in supporting the effective management of the Yorkshire and the Humber estate. This is a dynamic and varied position, perfect for someone who thrives on building strong relationships, enjoys being out on site, and takes pride in keeping operations running smoothly. We are looking for candidates who are:
You will be at the heart of our flagship estate's function working closely with internal teams, external partners, and site stakeholders to ensure our buildings are safe, functional, and fit for purpose.
Duties will include:
Additional Information
Some roles in probation require employees to have access to additional intelligence systems that require a higher level of vetting. An example of this, is the multi-agency 'Visor' system. If you are applying for a role that requires you to access systems such as Visor, you will be expected to undertake additional vetting for this once you commence in post, in addition to the pre-employment checks. From 22 July 2025, the Government increased the salary threshold and skills level for Skilled Worker visas. This role does not meet the eligibility criteria for sponsorship in accordance with the current immigration rules if you looking to apply for a Skilled Worker Visa for the first time.
The Department cannot consider sponsoring you for this role unless you have held a Skilled Worker visa continuously since before 22 July 2025. If you have held a Skilled Worker visa continuously, please raise this during your vetting checks and eligibility will be assessed in accordance with the immigration rules and transitional provisions in place.
If you are applying for this role and you do not meet the new eligibility criteria for sponsorship (or the transitional provisions), you will need to consider your options for obtaining and/or maintaining your right to work in the UK in light of these changes. Successful applicants must ensure they have and maintain the legal right to live and work in the Civil Service and in the United Kingdom.
Please note: If your first skilled worker visa/Certificate of Sponsorship (COS) was issued after 22nd July 2025, and you have previously held a student, graduate, or dependant visa, you would not be eligible for sponsorship for this role as the salary offered is below the threshold.
If you currently hold a skilled worker visa and have been a skilled worker visa holder continuously since before 4 April 2024 (Please note that the visa can have been issued after this date as long as the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) was issued before you may still apply).
Working Arrangements & Further Information
The MoJ offers Hybrid Working arrangements where business need allows. This is an informal, non-contractual form of flexible working that blends working from your base location, different MoJ sites and / or from home (please be aware that this role can only be worked in the UK and not overseas). Some roles will not be suitable for Hybrid Working. Similarly, Hybrid Working will not suit everyone's circumstances. Arrangements will be discussed and agreed with the successful candidate(s) and subject to regular review.
For nationally advertised roles, the successful candidate(s) will be appointed to a MoJ office location, which may include their nearest Justice Collaboration Centre or Justice Satellite Office. This will be discussed and agreed on the completion of pre-employment checks.
Some of MoJ's terms and conditions of service are changing as part of Civil Service reform. The changes will apply to staff joining MoJ who are new to the Civil Service. Staff joining MoJ from other civil service employers will transfer onto the new MoJ terms if they are already on 'modernised' terms in their current post or onto 'unmodernised' MoJ terms if they are on 'unmodernised' terms at their current post. Details will be available if an offer is made.
Standard full time working hours are 37 hours per week excluding breaks which are unpaid. HMPPS welcomes part-time, flexible and job-sharing working patterns, where they meet the demands of the role and business needs. All applications for part-time, flexible and job-sharing working patterns will be considered in accordance with the HMPPS' Flexible Working policy.
Benefits
The MoJ offers a range of benefits:
Annual Leave
