This is an entry-level / junior position and would be best suited to a school leaver/graduate who is seeking their first role with a friendly company.

Full training will be provided, so no specific experience is required (although previous experience in an office / admin / customer service role would be an added bonus!).

• You should have excellent written and verbal communication skills; with the confidence and ability to converse clearly with clients, colleagues and third-party suppliers and contractors.
• The role will include assisting with the facilities management of the practice; dealing with assigned projects from research through to completion.

• The successful candidate should have strong IT skills (preferably with a GCSE/A-Level qualification or equivalent experience), with a view to supporting the Practice Manager in computer troubleshooting across all offices and liaising with their external IT support company.
• The Office Assistant will also be working with the HR & Administration Manager, Administration Assistant, and Receptionist.
• Responsibilities will also include duties such as; regularly covering our switchboard and front desk; collecting and dispatching post; photocopying/scanning; file archiving, retrieval, and destruction; ordering stationery and supplies as requested; running errands, and a host of other tasks which help make the offices run smoothly.

This role would be suitable for a candidate interested in developing a career in business administration and/or HR.
