Organised, proactive and always one step ahead? We're looking for a brilliant General Administrator to join White Rose Education and provide high-quality administrative support across our busy organisation.

This is a varied role for someone who enjoys keeping things organised, making sure the details are right and helping other people get things done. No two days are likely to look exactly the same. You could be printing, preparing documents, updating records, processing product returns and stock information, responding to enquiries or helping a colleague organise an upcoming piece of work. At the heart of it all, you'll be someone the team can rely on to pick things up, follow them through and make sure nothing gets missed.

If you're highly organised, comfortable juggling different priorities and get genuine satisfaction from making things run smoothly, we'd love to hear from you.

• Liaising professionally with colleagues, customers, suppliers and other external contacts

You'll have strong administrative and IT skills, excellent attention to detail and the confidence to manage several different tasks without losing sight of deadlines. You'll also be comfortable communicating with people at different levels and know when to use your initiative and when to ask for help.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has a minimum of 2 years previous experience in an administrative, office or business support role
• Is confident using Microsoft Office, including Word, Outlook and Excel
• Has excellent organisation and time-management skills
• Takes pride in producing accurate, high-quality work
• Can manage competing priorities and meet deadlines
• Communicates clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing
• Is proactive and comfortable taking ownership of tasks
• Handles information with appropriate discretion and confidentiality
• Enjoys being part of a team and is happy to get stuck in when something needs doing
• Most importantly, you'll be someone who sees a job that needs doing and thinks "I'll sort that"
