Looking for a new challenge?
Cara Glass is one of the leading installers of windows, doors and conservatories in the Salisbury area, and we're looking for an enthusiastic and organised Office Administrator to join our team on a maternity cover contract.
Based in our Wilton office, you'll become part of a friendly and supportive team, helping customers, suppliers and colleagues while keeping the day-to-day administration of the business running smoothly.
If you enjoy helping people, thrive in a busy environment and take pride in being organised, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
No two days are the same, but your responsibilities will include:
- Providing outstanding customer service by telephone, email and in person.
- Managing appointments for sales consultants, surveyors and installation teams.
- Supporting customers with enquiries, bookings and payments.
- Creating customer invoices and processing supplier invoices.
- Maintaining accurate customer and company records.
- Managing electronic diaries and schedules.
- Supporting the wider team with administration and organisational tasks.
- Maintaining electronic filing and documentation systems.
- Performing data entry and maintaining databases and records.

What We're Looking For

- A practical, common-sense approach to problem solving.
- Reliability, flexibility and a positive attitude.

Previous experience in administration, office support or customer service would be advantageous, although full training will be provided. Whilst not exclusive, the role may be ideal for someone who is taking a gap year before university following exams to save money, or a bridging year between jobs
A good sense of humour is also essential!
