What we are looking for

We are looking for someone with previous administrative experience within a busy office environment who is confident managing a varied workload and working to deadlines. You should have experience working with financial information and administrative processes, strong IT skills including Microsoft Office packages, and accurate typing and document preparation skills.

We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most. But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
