It's important that you've been in a similar team / general Administration 'all rounder' role previously, coupled with some low level, basic Accounts admin experience too. Team fit is above all, important. It's a happy, warm & busy office with only 3-4 colleagues in at any one time. So it must suit someone able to fit in, work diligently & self sufficiently.

Essentially we want is a numerate, sharp & well & widely skilled Administrator who comes with an understanding & an interest in basic Accounts who can help out in Accounts Administration when needed. We are not seeking an Accounts candidate (you'll work closely with a brilliant Financial Controller) - the job is angled towards Administration.

Office Administrator responsibilities:

• Answer and deal with incoming office calls
• Produce packs & site folders for the site managers & distribute
• Book in collections and skips updating all relevant documents.
• Support in Hire / Book / monitor / manage welfare facilities / PPE for sites.
• Assist all sub-contractors and contracts managers with daily requests & assist with related admin tasks.

Construction experience is not crucial although a candidate with a varied & really busy office role is important. And exposure to all the above (eg: purchasing) is not necessary as there will be guidance given in new tasks.

The company use Xero accounts package & though some basic knowledge of this would be ideal, it's more important that you're a confident adaptable administrator, strong on spreadsheets & numerate.

It's a busy, small but genuinely effective team & we want a candidate who can produce a great standard of work with a responsible attitude. Essentially, we want a solution driven, agile & willing administrative support candidate with the ability to genuinely seek answers out using their own initiative & minimum guidance. A 'do-er'.
