If you are starting your career in Office Administration, then it is inevitable that your base salary will fall below the average Office Administration salary.

Annual Salary by Admin Manager Location

The average total compensation for an Admin Manager varies significantly across the United Kingdom. Your salary estimates should be higher if you intend to work in London and its surrounding region. If you can’t or don’t want to commute into London, other large cities offer excellent earning opportunities. 

How to Earn More as an Admin Manager

Gaining additional qualifications and putting in years of work are assured routes to earning more as an Admin Manager. However, there are many other ways to earn a higher wage.

Work more hours or non-standard hours

It almost goes without saying that you will earn more if you work full-time, instead of part-time. Overtime will increase your total hours, and some employers offer a higher hourly rate for overtime, mainly if the hours are during undesirable times, such as in the evening, night, or weekend. If shift work is a possibility, then you should expect a higher hourly rate.

Choose an Admin Manager job where salary is linked to performance

Choosing an employer that pays a commission or a performance bonus can significantly lift your annual compensation. A busy role is the key to success here, so you might need to find an inner-city employer to maximise your earning potential.

Research related jobs

If you have reached your salary pinnacle as an Admin Manager, it may be time to look at related roles. You will likely have gained the experience you need to shift your career direction or consider working as a freelancer or consultant.

Ask your employer for a raise

Asking your employer for a raise can seem daunting. Before you start a salary conversation, consider why you deserve a pay raise. Evidence is vital and persuasive, so it helps to collate performance figures, certificates, recognition, and awards.
