• Deal with placing and tracking all orders for medical supplies (first aid kits, spare inhalers, plasters, PPE etc)
• In the Summer arrange and take all meeting with new parents in order to take all their personal details, get proof in the form of birth certificates etc
• Undertake all admin tasks as requested or specified

What We Offer:

• Competitive daily pay rates: 16 - 18 per hour (Depending on experience in previous roles)
