- Compliance Administration: Maintaining ISO documentation and health & safety information to ensure it is always up to date.
- HR Support: Ensuring personnel files are current and maintaining the company training matrix.
- Office Management: Ordering and maintaining office supplies, operating office machinery, and keeping an efficient filing system.
Who We Are Looking For
The office environment is down-to-earth and supports busy landscape crews, requiring a proactive individual with a "thick skin" and a great sense of humour.
Key Requirements:
- Independence: You must be highly self-sufficient and comfortable working alone for long stretches of the day.
- Availability: You must be available to work full time office based. (9-5)
- Literacy & Communication: An excellent telephone manner and exceptional written communication skills. You must be able to draft professional correspondence with high grammatical accuracy.
- Technical Skills: Proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite and the ability to quickly learn bespoke software programs.
- Work Ethic: Strong organisational skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to log all sales enquiries and customer requests accurately.
What is on Offer?
- A competitive salary between £27,000 and £30,000 (DOE).
- A supportive, straightforward team environment.
- The chance to take ownership of your workload within a successful local business.
