Part Time Office Administrator (WFH)

The primary focus of this role is to support a small electrical company and their team of electricians in an administrative and operational capacity. The work is quite broad and varied, and you would be working closely with the two other full time members of office staff, one is an electrician who deals with the technical side of things (David, Director) and the other is the office manager (Naomi). You would be generally be supporting Naomi with her role, and filling in for her when she is on holiday. Naomi would be dealing with the more day to day scheduling and processing of work 'on the front line' with the electricians and clients and you would be carrying out the more 'back end' tasks such as processing subcontractor invoices, dealing with PAYE and CIS, requesting customer reviews etc.

The successful candidate will be highly detail-orientated & organised, with a proactive approach to their work, and would have solid IT skills.

Ideal working hours would ideally be the same each day and exact hours can be agreed to suit both parties. In terms of the total hours per week, this varies dependent on workload, so would also vary from day-to-day. 25 hours per week is the average.

This role has become available because the workload is too great for the office manager.

Full and detailed training will be offered, and the role is remote to add further flexibility.

  • Previous administration experience
