- Responding to urgent requests and changes in operational requirements.
- Providing general administrative support to Managers and the wider Operations team.
What we’re looking for
- Previous experience in an office or administrative role.
- Good Excel skills and confidence using Outlook and Word.
- Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
- The ability to pause one task, respond to an urgent request and return to outstanding work without losing track.
- A calm, practical approach to changing priorities and deadlines.
- Clear and friendly communication skills, both over the phone and in writing.
- Confidence working independently and using your initiative.
- A professional and discreet approach to confidential information.
This would suit an adaptable administrator who enjoys variety, takes ownership of their workload and likes being the person who keeps a busy team organised.
