About Light Power Health
Light Power Health is a small, innovative and growing UK company designing and producing science-backed lighting products with applications in health and wellbeing.
Our products are based on emerging scientific research into the biological effects of specific wavelengths of light. We work closely with leading academic researchers and have developed products that are now sold internationally, supported by a growing global network of resellers.
As the business expands, we are looking for an exceptional individual to become a key member of our small team and take a leading role in its day-to-day operation and future growth.
The role
This is not a conventional administrative position.
We are looking for someone who combines excellent organisational and administrative ability with initiative, commercial awareness and entrepreneurial flair.
Working closely with the directors and other members of our small team, you will take responsibility for a wide range of activities involved in running and developing the business.
The role will initially include:
- Managing day-to-day customer enquiries and email correspondence
- Carrying out and improving routine business administration
- Helping coordinate orders, customers, suppliers and other business activities
- Developing strong relationships with our international resellers
- Helping manage and expand our growing global reseller network
- Maintaining accurate records and assisting with basic accounting and financial administration
- Working confidently with numbers, spreadsheets and business data
- Using technology and online systems to improve the efficiency of the business
- Identifying problems and taking the initiative to find practical solutions
- Helping develop new systems and processes as the company grows
- Taking increasing responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the business
Because we are a small company, the role will be varied. There will be routine tasks that simply need to be done well, but there will also be considerable opportunity to contribute ideas and influence how the business develops.
The person we are looking for
Qualifications and previous experience are important, but attitude and ability are equally important to us.
You are likely to be someone who:
- Is highly motivated, proactive and dependable
- Enjoys responsibility and is comfortable making decisions
- Can work independently while being an effective member of a small team
- Is an excellent problem solver
- Has excellent written English and communication skills
- Communicates confidently and professionally with customers and business partners
- Is highly comfortable with technology and learning new systems
- Has a good grasp of numbers and calculations
- Understands basic accounting and business practices
- Is organised and able to manage several priorities at once
- Is a creative and clear thinker
- Naturally looks for ways to improve how things are done
- Has the confidence and commercial awareness to help develop business relationships internationally
Above all, we are looking for someone who sees what needs doing and takes ownership of it rather than waiting to be told what to do.
Location and working arrangements
The position will be primarily home-based, but the successful applicant will need to live within reasonable travelling distance of the Bristol, Bath or Chippenham area.
Regular face-to-face meetings will be required in Chippenham and Monmouth, so applicants must be comfortable travelling to both locations.
Why join us?
This is an opportunity to join a young business at an exciting stage of its development.
For the right person, the role offers considerably more than a conventional administrative position. You will work closely with the people running the company, gain exposure to virtually every aspect of the business and have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as Light Power Health grows internationally.
We are particularly interested in finding someone who wants to help build a business rather than simply work for one.
