We are looking for someone who can carry out administrative tasks efficiently and handle business documentation with confidence and accuracy. You will be approachable, supportive of colleagues and proactive in prioritising tasks, with a willingness to contribute wherever needed. We value established secretarial and administration skills, and we will provide on-the-job guidance and training where necessary.
Responsibilities will include:
· Managing office administration and reception duties.
· Supporting with coordination and booking travel arrangements.
· Taking accurate minutes
· Maintaining document control.
You will also support continued compliance with Quality, Environment and Health & Safety accreditations, while taking responsibility for aspects of financial management and helping to maintain suitable, well-controlled business documentation.
Essential attributes for the role:
· Five GCSE's A*-C including English and Maths, or equivalent
· Competence in standard MS Office software, including Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams.

· Good timekeeping, reliability and organisation.
· Effective verbal and written communication skills.
· Experience of working independently as well as part of a team.
Desirable attributes for the role:
· A current driving licence, to permit unsupervised driving in the UK.
· The organisational skills to contribute to an established Quality, Environmental and Health & Safety accredited management system.
· A qualification in Business Administration or a related field.
